"This book tells about the author's experiences working as a Guardian ad Litem, a volunteer court-appointed advocate for children (the equivalent of a CASA in many states), in Florida. The author recounts several of the cases that she worked on, mostly with teenagers, and in doing so, she touches on many of the problems and difficulties inherent to the child welfare system in our country. Not exactly an uplifting book when you look at the big picture, but on a small scale, it makes you realize that there are some really committed people out there doing great things for children. The writing was a bit too dramatic for me; the author is a novelist, and it shows."
"This book totally changed my perspective on becoming a GAL. My passion for representing child and their rights has increased. I really enjoyed this book!!!"
