About the Author

Dr. John Seita is a former youth at risk who beat the odds. He was removed from his mother's home at the age of eight. Abused and neglected as a child, his journey though children's institutions and countless foster homes was a litany of degradation and humiliation.

He is the author of Kids Who Outwit Adults (with Larry Brendtro); God Is in the Kitchen and Other Everyday Miracles; and In Whose Best Interest (with Martin Mitchell and Christi Tobin). He has written extensively in various journals on subjects related to youth development and program evaluation. <P>Prior to coming to Michigan State, Dr. Seita worked for five years as a program director for the W.

He holds a doctorate in education and psychology from the University of Michigan. He has been a youth worker, teacher, principal, and psychologist.
