Save Them All contains true and shocking stories of underprivileged and troubled kids living in the beautiful Bay Area of Northern California. The book is written with empathy, irony, and a touch of comedy and also gives deep insight into the lives of everyday kids, on political issues, the struggles facing our public school teachers, and the societal issues that bring on many of these problems.

Many of the stories contain disturbing accounts of the issues facing the everyday life of the at risk students and the struggles of a rookie teacher contending with the conflict between her desire to contribute and the realities of society’s failures. Topics are suicide, gangs, drug abuse, murder, and child abuse and neglect.

The book is not a condemnation of our public schools but is meant to be an insight into the realities politicians and society refuse to address. It is a must-read if you care about kids, schools, the politics of education, and how to make a difference. Save Them All will shock and inspire, educate and entertain, create laughter and tears, and possibly influence the reader to implement change.
