Stories That Shape Our Work: What the Georgia CASA Team Is Reading

In the child welfare space, many books touch on our work directly and indirectly. These reads can be found in every shelf of the reading world; memoirs that show a child’s journey to safety, non-fiction works that cultivate leadership or technical skills, and stories of fiction that illustrate hope are all in the hands of those in the CASA network. To help you get started on your next read, the Georgia CASA team shares the books that have recently resonated with them.
