"It took great courage to write this memoir. . . . Our
discomfort with love and failure has helped create and fuel a foster-care
bureaucracy that often operates with a breathtaking lack of humanity.
Bridge survived to write this beautiful, moving memoir. So many children
don't."
— Los Angeles Times' review of Hope's Boy
