This is a second edition of Ann Hill Beuf's admirable book about the social situation of hospitalized children in twentieth-century America.
The author includes details and examples drawn from the day-to-day life of children in hospitals to show their responses to this frightening experience and to examine as well the frustrating mission of the people who care for them.
