This book offers readers and professionals an in-depth understanding of the importance of culturally competent processes that do not further mitigate African American parents to be deemed as unfit. . . . I would purchase this book and recommend it to others, because (it) helps reframe the way we look at African American parenting, challenging our biases as professionals. . . . This was an informative, detailed, thought-provoking, and enlightening read!
