Industry Reviews "The black-and-white photographs and accompanying text provoke the overriding question: How could this possibly be happening? The next: What are you going to do about it?" Clare
"Filled with powerful--often brutal--images of children subjected to unthinkable abuse and neglect, the book can be difficult to view. At the same time, it is impossible to forget....The photographs move the reader and attaches names and faces to numbers and statistics, while the accompanying text encourages the reader to consider why a particular situation exists, what perpetuates it, and what could be done to change it." Upchurch
"A photograph may be worth a thousand words, but a photograph and words--the right words--are an unbeatable combination. Looking at Arbus's pictures of freaks in the light of her remark about the test they've passed in life is to look at them with new eyes." New York Review of Books - Janet Malcolm (01/15/2004)
