I wrote this book after working with at-risk teens because I was concerned about how easily adults give up on kids who have made mistakes. If we give up on them, they give up on themselves.
BUT, if we believe they can overcome the challenges they face, they believe it, too.
This book was very loosely adapted for the movie Dangerous Minds - the book tells the real story of real students at a real school.
