The Night Watcher

Simultaneously a best friend, mentor, psychologist, and surrogate mother to the many young people who call her "Auntie," Charlayne Woodard is childless only by biological standards. Told with penetrating grace, candor and wit, The Night Watcher is the story of a woman who chooses not to have children -- only to be pulled into the real-life struggles of kids of all ages, races and backgrounds.
