An absolutely beautiful memoir of the tragedies of young boy who loses his mother to schizophrenia, then spends the remainder of his childhood in foster care. Bridge describes the support and care he found from teachers, then academic successes that led him to college and Harvard Law School. A tragic story that is ultimately triumphant and hopeful. A engrossing and important read.
