This is the moving and powerful account of two remarkable
boys struggling to survive in Chicago's Henry Horner Homes,
a public housing complex disfigured by crime and neglect. In his acclaimed 1987 series for The Wall Street Journal,
Alex Kotlowitz established that the tender underside of our
embattled inner cities is the children, urban America's
greatest casualty and its only hope. With this searing and
important work, he continues the stories of 12-year-old
Lafayette Rivers and his younger brother Pharoah as they
confront tragedy on a daily basis.
