 | Wilder by Nina Bernstein
Through a long study of several principles in a landmark court decision, a journalist exposes the gulag of New York's foster care system. The author examines the lost lives that were caught up in the system, and the large social issues such as race, ethnicity, poverty, and human rights. She examines the court decision that implicated the social agencies involved in foster care and the reforms that were mandated--and which took over 25 years to be instituted. AUTHOR: Nina Bernstein
