5.0 out of 5 stars Weeping and angry., June 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Angels Crying: A True Story of Secrecy and Tragedy (Paperback)

A story so chilling that it left me weeping and angry that a system chose to ignore and/or cover up this child's misery. It has made me open my eyes to my own surroundings. Well written to the point that I felt I was there.

This review is from: Angels Crying: A True Story of Secrecy and Tragedy (Paperback)

This book was very well written and tells the true, tragic story of Tammy King, a foster child caught up in the system of Child Protection Services. Her story deserved to be told and I thank Tom Moore for making sure it was. I hope everyone in a profession that brings them in contact with children in need read this book. It screams the same question I asked about the adults in my environment during my childhood, "Is anyone watching these people?" Tom Moore's truthful answer to that question is 'probably not.' How sad and shameful.

Upon starting this book i found it hard to place down. A truly moving story of a youth tragedy. I feel that more colleges could make use of this book in there teaching of literature. A really excellent read.
