Bridge has written a devastating memoir of the collapse of a fragile life with his uneducated, struggling mother and removal from her care -- literally pulled from her arms on the street. With precision and care, he details the brutal realities of his childhood in state care and his extraordinary fortune in overcoming it. The writing is restrained yet quickly draws reader into the nature and impact of the most profound losses imaginable. An American story of what happens to thousands of our children.
