We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America by Roxanna Asgarian
4.5
Good critique of a broken system with great sensitivity taken towards the children involved and their birth families, whose stories often go untold when it comes to narratives of adoption and fostering.
Really loved how the writer formatted the book, starting with the family in question and then using that as a jumping off point to examine all the shortcomings of the systems that allowed the tragedy to occur. Also really loved the epilogue.
