Publisher's Synopsis

A writing instructor at a New York City junior high school traces his attempts to educate youngsters from broken homes and violent neighborhoods.

Putting a human face on dire statistics about inner-city schools, Stephen O'Connor describes how his junior high school students--struggling to make sense of lives touched by violence, poverty, and broken families--discovered their own voices by writing and performing two plays.
