P. J. Ochlan
With increasing urgency, the plight of the American family grips the national conscience. The family courts are often our society's last safety net to prevent disaster. In this penetrating exposé of the inner workings of the U.S. family court system, two award-winning journalists provide an intimate look at the lives of the children whose fate it decides.

If you could sum up Somebody Else’s Children in three words, what would they be?
Not what I was thinking that it would be. Well written stories by the author but was not the book that I thought I was getting. Awfully depressing stories, mostly revolving around teens. Officially re-considering adopting. :(I can't listen to any more!!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The book was extremely educational. I learned quite a bit about how horrible it is for children who get stuck in the foster care system. My heart broke for them and the social workers, case workers, CASA, judges, and families. A must read for anyone who has a goal to support children in the foster care system.What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
It is a shame how children go through so much to adhere to the rules of the system, but the rules don't really seem to advocate for the children in a way they should. They are shuffled among case workers and CASA like they are simply a deck of cards. It is horrible.Have you listened to any of P. J. Ochlan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
First one.Did Somebody Else’s Children inspire you to do anything?
Yes. I want to be a foster parent. But I wanted that before I read it. Now I want it more.Eye opening book
