One of her first cases was an about-to-be homeless woman who called in a CPS report on herself because she didn't know what else to do. Linda and her six children met the author in an undesirable part of Phoenix at Motel 6 where they were staying. They were on their last paid night at the motel.\"Can you please do something?\" Linda pleaded. Nothing with CPS was ever easy; not the work, not the people, not the policies, not the outcomes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this memoir, the author shares her most memorable and haunting cases - many of which stemmed from families abusing alcohol and\/or drugs, living in poverty, and coping with mental illness.
