This book is an amazing look at how cultures can clash and the impact it has on real, live people. This is not a theoretical look at the the need for a multicultural perspective, but a heart-breaking story of how refusal to acknowledge and appreciate difference can change lives. It taught me that by appreciating difference, I can also change lives, but in a good way.
This book will now be required reading in a course I teach called "Introduction to Human Services."
