GenX artist Jacinta Bunnell shares her latchkey kid story, along with those of people in her communities. (full disclosure: I contributed a paragraph. I wish I'd written something longer)

The remembrances have a common thread of resilience, along with the vulnerability and loneliness of being unparented after school. The book is illustrated with images of latchkey and potlatch craft projects.
