Incorporating stories from his twenty-year career as a counselor, the author examines some of America's crucial social issues--neglect, racism, and adolescent self-destruction--and invites adults to become involved with at-risk adolescents through mentoring. Original.
Nothing new here. The stories were interesting and inspiring, but there were no new concepts on how to work with at risk kids. Respect, love, and a listening ear go a long way. Worth the time to read it.
