(4) YA Translated by Wanda Boeke. Photographs by Pieter Kers. Eighteen Netherlanders ages fourteen to twenty relay the circumstances (typically parental abuse and neglect) that led them to live independently, in reform school, or in foster, youth, or transition homes. The first-person narratives, based on interviews, are intriguing but provide only an abbreviated sense of who these young people are. The black-and-white photos of the book's subjects are dark and grainy but artful.
