Turning Stones by Marc Parent

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, which was a New Visions nominee and a NEBA Honorable Selection, as well as Believing It All: What My Children Taught Me About Trout Fishing, Jelly Toast, and Life, which was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and a New Visions nominee. He has written for a variety of periodicals, including The New York Times and USA Today.
