Black-and-white photos illustrate this compendium of compellingly honest first-person narratives from disenfranchised youth in Thailand, Ukraine, South Africa, Northern Ireland, and the United States. Shorter narratives by adults from grassroots mentoring organizations give a well-rounded view of the global scope of problems youth and society face with drugs, violence, and HIV/AIDS. The stories are bleak, but all contain real hope and inspiration for change.
