This book constitutes an impassioned plea for providing substitute family life for deprived young children. It has the backing of Miss Balls' experience in the Northumberland Children's Department, where she was able to promote a policy of closing nurseries and enlisting the help of foster parents. The question arises whether her championship of the deprived child, illustrated by selective material from case-histories, has not led to uncritical condemnation of the parents.
