This was a wake up call to the fact that some people have children that may not have the ability to care for them and our society does not have the best ways to watch that these children are fed and cared for. The parents in this book are bright and have good hearts and some tender moments with their children, but alcohol and some poor judgement made me wish some family member was able to step in and help these children. I know this is a true story and these things still happen today but it was a wake up call to keep your eyes open and help your neighbor when you see they need a hand, or at least their children. Very insightful read.
