About this book
Reviews
"This is an important text that fills a significant void in the welfare reform literature and could not be coming at a more opportune time...The major strength of the volume is in the rich, qualitative data, that allows readers to 'hear' the voices of impoverished parents; and the collected studies illustrate the complexity of their lives." - Robert Geen, Director, Child Welfare Research Program, The Urban Institute
