These texts examine, frankly and unflinchingly, the most persistent and endangering of challenges that teens face. With great compassion, empathy, and reassuring guidance, the perils of homelessness, family breakups, and eating disorders are discussed, as are the realistic avenues out of adversity available to teens.

They are about hope, not despair, and avoidance of or escape from the entrapment of desperate living.
