In 1988, Sacramento police investigators found the bodies of seven welfare recipients buried in the yard of Dorothea Puente's rooming house. On the surface Puente was an impreccably dressed woman in her sixties, a familiar figure in the Sacramento social scene who dealt closely with social welfare agencies, served on the boards and committees of various social welfare organizations, and knew about the city's self-help clinics and homeless centers. Blackburn examines Dorothea's possible role as a black widow who rebuilt a Victorian house into a processing facility for the state's neediest. It is the story of a system for social good that backfired into a nightmare of indifference, greed, and death. An expose of administrative neglect, this book forces us to confront a system that nourishes people like Dorothea Puente, a woman who may, indeed, have harvested the suffering crop of humanity placed in her care by a system that didn't care. ; 9-1/2" Tall; 306 pages.

In 1988, Sacramento police investigators found the bodies of seven welfare recipients buried in the yard of Dorothea Puente's rooming house. On the surface Puente was an impreccably dressed woman in her sixties, a familiar figure in the Sacramento social scene who dealt closely with social welfare agencies, served on the boards and committees of various social welfare organizations, and knew about the city's self-help clinics and homeless centers. Blackburn examines Dorothea's possible role as a black widow who rebuilt a Victorian house into a processing facility for the state's neediest. It is the story of a system for social good that backfired into a nightmare of indifference, greed, and death. An expose of administrative neglect, this book forces us to confront a system that nourishes people like Dorothea Puente, a woman who may, indeed, have harvested the suffering crop of humanity placed in her care by a system that didn't care. ; 9-1/2" Tall; 306 pages.
