Journalist Kozol searches the burroughs of New York in the hopes of revealing why so many families are falling below the poverty line, the abundance of gang and drug politics, and the slipping education rates of children. Recording heart-wrenching stories of troubled welfare, gang-activity and a system that has generally failed the burroughs of New York, Kozol stirs his readers to action and not to turn a blind eye to those most in need.
