All Alone in the World: Children of the Incarcerated

An award-winning journalist's "heart wrenching" (The San Antonio Observer) look at children with parents in prison--a Newsweek "Book of the Week" and an East Bay Express bestseller

"An urgent invitation to care for all children as our own." --Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, author of Random Family

In this "moving condemnation of the U.S. penal system and its effect on families" (Parents' Press), award-winning journalist Nell Bernstein takes an intimate look at parents and children--over two million of them--torn apart by our current incarceration policy. Described as "meticulously reported and sensitively written" by Salon, the book is "brimming with compelling case studies . . . and recommendations for change" (Orlando Sentinel ); Our Weekly Los Angeles calls it "a must-read for lawmakers as well as for lawbreakers."
