520 "Chaos. Frustration. Compassion. Desperation. Hope. These
are the five words that author Wendy Welch says best
summarize the state of foster care in the coalfields of
Appalachia. Her assessment is based on interviews with
more than sixty social workers, parents, and children who
have gone through "the system." The riveting stories in
Fall or Fly tell what foster care is like, from the inside
out. In depictions of foster care and adoption, stories
tend to cluster at the dark or light ends of the spectrum,
rather than telling the day-to-day successes and failures
of families working to create themselves. Who raises other
people's children? Why? What's money got to do with it
when the love on offer feels so real? And how does the
particular setting of Appalachia--itself so frequently
oversimplified or stereotyped--influence the way these
questions play out? In Fall or Fly, Welch invites people
bound by a code of silence to open up and to share their
experiences. Less inspiration than a call to caring
awareness, this pioneering work of storytelling journalism
explores how love, compassion, money, and fear intermingle
in what can only be described as a marketplace for our
nation's greatest asset"--|cProvided by publisher.
