Turning Stones by Marc Parent
Why does an infant die of malnutrition? Why does an eight-year-old hold a knife to his brother's throat? Or a mother push her cherished daughter 23 floors to her death? As a city caseworker, Marc Parent has searched the streets--and his heart--for the answers to these and other questions about children at risk. In this powerful book, he shares his findings with readers.
Marc Parent is the author of Turning Stones: My Days and Nights with Children at Risk, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize as well as a New Visions nominee and a NEBA Honorary Selection, and Believing It All: What My Children Taught Me About Trout Fishing, Jelly Toast, and Life. He has written for The New York Times and USA Today, among other publications.
