This book describes the experience of families who are participants in an Early Head Start program for families with infants and toddlers who live in poverty. The author examines the lives of the families as they go about their daily routines, attend the Head Start center, and receive home visits. Hallock seeks to understand the complex relationships between families and the Early Head Start home visitors who are there to support them and help improve their lives. This book provides insight on how institutions such as Head Start can influence relationship-based work, providing hope for families and home visitors as they work towards explicit shared goals.

Industry Reviews

Hallock's most important contribution with this work may be less with what she found than how she got to those findings. She enters the lives of these families as a scientist seeking answers to important questions. She joins them where they are with compassion, hope, and reflection. In doing so, she tells a very compelling story, a story of life as recipients of publicly funded services, and also a story of how to truly join with them. -- John Hornstein, Brazelton Touchpoints Center, Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachussetts
