Reviews

"This study finds much to condemn in the child removal system, but the authors also caution against resorting to simplistic solutions to complex problems. Summing Up: Recommended." - "CHOICE"
"The authors bring to their analysis an imposing and impressive weight of research - they have immersed themselves deeply in the prose, poetry, and pictures of the rescue narrative, and establish the key elements in it." - Hugh Cunningham, University of Kent, "Victorian Studies Review"
