Solomon's Sword - Two Families And The Children The State Took Away (Paperback, First Trade Paper ed)

In an era when headlines often seem dominated by horrific stories about abused children, "Solomon's Sword" weaves together the elements of two painful custody battles into a memorable book that no reader who cares about children will be able to put aside. In examining collisions between children, parents, and the law, Shapiro meets judges, lawyers, social workers, clergy, and therapists who must advocate a course of action in thousands of cases each year across America. Reading about these dedicated people, professionals in the vanguard of new approaches to the problem of mistreated children, will leave readers hopeful that we are finally learning how to ameliorate this enduring national disgrace. "Solomon's Sword" sheds new light on a dire social problem in a powerful book that will influence public policy for years to come.
