When Joseph's parents separate and his dad moves out of the family home, Joseph is left feeling lost, confused, and alone - it's not long before his mom starts to notice that something is wrong. Her once bright and happy son has become quiet and angry, and nothing she or his grandmother does seems to help. Perhaps it's time to try therapy and get Joseph the confidence he needs. Growing Up Like Joseph shows the importance of looking at family from the perspective of the child - because all children have a right to feel at home, no matter the circumstances.
