Opis

When Corraine Graham braves a dysfunctional foster care system to adopt Mark, a three year old boy with an abusive and neglectful past, she hopes that love, security, and the right kind of discipline will banish the nightmares that keep her new son howling through the night and rampaging through the day. As Mark grows from a disabled child, bullied by his peers, to an emotionally disturbed and defiant adolescent, and finally into a young man in trouble with the law, Corraine learns that even the best intentions are not enough. Based on true events, Maze Crawler is a riveting and emotional journey through the shadowy bureaucratic underground of the American foster care, educational, mental health and criminal justice systems. Told from the perspective of a mother who will do anything to help her son, Maze Crawler reveals the secrets of a system designed to fail those who need help the most.
