520    "Guardianship, sometimes called conservatorship, is an 
       ever-growing phenomenon. Some of these arrangements are 
       truly beneficial, but countless others are unwanted, 
       unnecessary, and violate constitutionally protected human 
       rights. Award winning journalist, Diane Dimond, dissects 
       the mysterious, ever-expanding, and complicit cottage 
       industry of individuals who profit off the confinement of 
       others"--|cProvided by publisher.
