Abstract

Anyone who has spent time working in a runaway shelter has stories to tell about the courageous kids who spin through the shelter's revolving doors. What follows are three of a number mine. (Practicing, The Bear, Zoe's Turn.) Í started writing them to answer a personal question: what made a handful of these kids, out of the hundreds I worked with, so particularly special to me? I looked for the answers in them and ultimately saw reflections of me.Copyright of Reflections: Narratives of Professional Helping is the property of ClevelandState University and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to alistserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
