"Awakening the Spirit: Moving Forward in Child Welfare is a diverse, thought-provoking collection of writing on the current status of child welfare that simultaneously articulates new thinking and doing within child welfare policy, practice, and training. Informed by research, this collaborative collection offers a rich commentary on the influences and contexts within which Canadian child welfare operates. This book is an important contribution that will promote renewed discussion of what it means to move child welfare forward. -Margaret Kovach, College of Education, University of Saskatchewan
