review: Editorial Reviews Review “Gold devotes [this] book concerning his work as a rehabilitation counselor at a juvenile prison in Washington State to the stories of six residents he knew there. ... Chapters eschew cause-and-effect descriptions of crimes and neat conclusions, focusing instead on each incarcerated young person's accounts of his or her experiences through recreated conversations, journals, and emails, and on Gold's experiences working with them. ... Their stories share threads: violence at home and in gangs; anger and suicidality in the absence of hope; and a perceived lack of belief in their futures.”― Booklist “[Gold] offers profound insights into the challenges of taking care of incarcerated youngsters...heartbreaking and eye-opening and utterly worthwhile”― Discover Our Coast . About the Author Jerome Gold has published fifteen books of nonfiction, fiction, and poetry, including two memoirs of his career as a rehabilitation counselor in a prison for children. He lives in Everett, Washington.
