The Story of an Education

About the Book

In a world characterized by shoestring poverty, racial divide, crime and extreme violence, what does an education mean to children? The author embarks on a journey to fight the almost intractable realities of the children of a deeply-deprived community, facing insurmountable difficulties and emotional losses, to ultimately find the meaning of education and service to those most needy of it.
