What, as a country, do we owe them? Cris Beam, a foster mother herself, spent five years immersed in the world of foster care looking into these questions and tracing firsthand stories. The result is To the End of June , an unforgettable portrait that takes us deep inside the lives of foster children in their search for a stable, loving family.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Beam shows us the intricacies of growing up in the system—the back-and-forth with agencies, the rootless shuffling between homes, the emotionally charged tug between foster and birth parents, the terrifying push out of foster care and into adulthood. Humanizing and challenging a broken system, To the End of June offers a tribute to resiliency and hope for real change.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n A triumph of narrative reporting and storytelling. — The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n [A] powerful . . . and refreshing read. — Chicago Tribune\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n A sharp critique of foster-care policies and a searching exploration of the meaning of family. — Publishers Weekly (starred review)\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Heart-rending and tentatively hopeful. — Salon\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67910276775972,"sku":"YSL9101","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/81S2iP1XVTL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793097033","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b009jwcrjc","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
