Clarissa’s Disappointment follows a young woman Clarissa Pettaway as her father returns home from prison. It is a great story about the realities children deal with when their parents return from incarceration. As a woman with a formerly incarcerated parent myself, I think it is a great story for children to read and would have been beneficial to my experience with my father’s re-entry. This is a great story for people who are incarcerated with young children.
