Reflections are clearly stated in uncluttered sentences, making hers an honest and reliable voice. This well-crafted and controlled personal narrative avoids the traps of sentimentality that are easy to fall into when exploring emotional territory. Having survived the foster care system’s endemic fractures-following her experiences as the child of a “broken” and terminally transient home-Chefalo establishes trust throughout her memoir, right to its climatic, yet unpredictable conclusion. Shenandoah Chefalo presents an intimate, unapologetic critique of the foster care system in her memoir, Garbage Bag Suitcase, which she writes with authority, from a personal perspective.
Chefalo relates the details of her life as representative of the need for significant reform-if not total reinvention-of the current foster care system.
