Born, Not Raised: Voices From Juvenile Hall
We are thrilled to announce that Library Journal has reviewed our upcoming release for net month- Born, Not Raised: Voices From Juvenile Hall!
Unfortunately the review is only available in the print edition, but it can also be found on the Barnes and Noble website’s entry for the book. It is the closing portion of the review that we are most proud of (emphasis mine):
VERDICT More policy-oriented than academic in tone, this book is recommended for specialized juvenile justice collections and libraries holding the other two volumes in the series. Though government austerity is in vogue, this book is a powerful reminder of the social costs of neglecting the specific needs of at-risk youth.—Antoinette Brinkman, Evansville, IN
And that is exactly what we hope for it to be, a powerful reminder. More than that it is our hope that it will also help to galvanize more people into action to fix this broken system.
