Wonderful Grace is Jonathan Kozol’s common ebook on life and loss of life in the South Bronxâ€"the poorest urban neighborhood of the United States. He provides us into overcrowded educational institutions, dysfunctional hospitals, and rat-infested homes where households have been ravaged by melancholy and panic, drug-associated violence, and the disperse of AIDS. But he also introduces us to dedicated and unselfish teachers, focused ministers, andâ€"at the soul and center of the bookâ€"courageous and delightful children. The children we arrive to fulfill by way of the friendships they have shaped with Jonathan defy the stereotypes of urban youth far too usually introduced by the mass media. Tender, generous, and typically religiously devout, they speak with eloquence and honesty about the poverty and racial isolation that have wounded but not hardened them. Amidst all of the despair, it is the quite younger whose luminous capacity for adore and transcendent perception of faith in human decency give reason for hope.
