I’ve read several books over the years, beginning in middle school, about young people, that describe their early childhood, circumstances and surroundings, that led them some of them to tragedy or some to success. Here in this entry is one title that I read recently and because I now have this blog, I share with you. I have to say the one common factor in all the books I’ve read was poverty. Poverty deprives a person of opportunity, and what and who is available in your community really matters and could make the difference on how a young life turns out – tragically or successfully.
