Through careful ethnography and rich in-depth interviews at a non-profit foster family agency, this book takes a look behind the scenes of our troubled foster care system. The author concludes that the problems of the system result less from uncommitted service providers, and more from the competing cultural rationales and complex bureaucratic environment that set the context under which care is administered.
