Little Victories

Chaos, frustration and spit. Recent college graduate Angela Marengo thinks she knows what she is getting into by taking a job at a children's mental health center's elementary school program. Although she has a knack for helping abused kids, she finds the abusers these children still live with are the least of her worries. From a ham-stringed legal system to nearly impotent social services to professional burnout among her overstressed colleagues, Angela discovers that her easy stepping-stone to a graduate degree in psychology is really the great secret travesty of justice for America's youngest, most voiceless citizens. "Little Victories" exposes the children's mental health system the way Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" exposed the meatpacking industry. A must read for every student of psychology and social work...and every person concerned about the welfare of the nation's children.
