Review
"Provocative." -- Education Week
"Someone has finally given school dropouts a chance to tell their stories." -- USA Today
"We cannot afford to treat our children who drop out of school as if they were expendable. They are valuable human beings who have cautionary tales to tell, and we should listen attentively--for all our sakes." -- Former First Lady Barbara Bush
