Robert P. (monastic-monk) reviewed on 8/3/2010 + 4 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

This is an outstanding book, that even though 15 years old, still speaks powerfully about the state of poverty in the most prosperous nation on earth, and it is set in New York City. The stories are profound, moving, and, surprisingly, full of hope, in a sea of despair and gloom.

Highly recommended, especially if you teach social studies or social justice classes.
