Amazing Grace

The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation

Jonathan Kozol

Experience the poignant voices of urban youth that defy stereotypes through their tender, generous, and religiously devout personalities, as they share eloquent and honest accounts of poverty and racial isolation. "Amazing Grace" depicts the harsh and tragic realities of violence, sickness, and death in their neighborhoods without romanticizing its effects. This gentle yet thought-provoking book raises political and theological questions about the value of a child's life, and the inhumanity of defining them as economically and humanly superfluous.
