This book chronicles the lives and experiences of 47 college students navigating the challenging terrain of the United States' foster care system. Through insightful, in-depth interviews, Johnson offers insight into the harsh realities of how our nation's education, welfare, and other social systems often intertwine in ways that diminish the potential and opportunities for these young people.
