Jonathan Kozol has written another book that looks at those
who are less fortunate than many. He has followed the lives of many inner city
children. He has shown us that society has in many ways hindered them, yet many
of them have survived to go to college and find their way out of this hell that
was created for them. As he exposed some of the areas and conditions that these
children have had to live through, society moved them to areas that really were
not much better and often put them in harm’s way even more. Kozol’s stories are
heart-wrenching and often hopeful as we follow these lives and wonder how they
managed to survive. A man like this does this from the goodness of his heart.
He truly cares. You can feel this as you read the book. He doesn’t judge
people. He just tells their stories.
