Customer Reviews

Thought provoking interviews, in lucid detail

I really enjoyed this book, partially because I have spent time with the teens in Tompkins Sq park, so I can relate to this case study.Furthermore, I feel like the author portrays the feelings of the subjects through her interviews, and the interviews are written with lucid honesty.
