The Kindness of Strangers
reviewed on + 379 more book reviews


Jordan Kendricks suffers unspeakable atrocities by those who should be keeping him safe. This is a difficult book to read because it is reality for many children. As an advocate for foster children in the juvenile court system, I know that the statistics cited are all too true and that each of us has a responsibility to protect any child whom we suspect is a victim of any form of abuse. There are many truths in this book and the bad news is that there are monsters among us. The worst news is that they look just like us. I applaud Katrina Kittle for bringing this difficult subject to light, and I hope it will have a lasting impact on our awareness.
