A "New York Times" Notable Book
"Casts a searing eye on the labyrinth that is the American foster
care system." -- NPR's "On Point"
Who are the children of foster care? 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.
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.
" A] powerful . . . and refreshing read." -- "Chicago Tribune"
"A sharp critique of foster-care policies and a searching
exploration of the meaning of family." -- "Publishers Weekly,"
starred review
"Heart-rending and tentatively hopeful." -- "Salon"
