    Jeannette Wall’s memoir “The Glass Castle” written in 2005, talks about her unique childhood sharing memories of her father, mother and siblings.

Supervisors are too overwhelmed to manage their subordinates.” (Talenfeld Law).

    Every year, about 300,000 children are placed into out-of-home care due to abuse and neglect (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).
