Broken Three Times is a narrative nonfiction book that chronicles one family's travails through the child welfare system. It is about broken promises, broken spirits, and the broken child welfare system that nearly broke the three individuals portrayed in the book. Over the course of the decade that is covered in the book's primary narrative, the child welfare system has started a process of significant reform. Judgment is still out on whether these changes will last and will prove effective, but stories like the one that forms the heart of Broken Three Times remind us of the complexity of the issues involved with child welfare.
