Industry reviews
In this visually and rationally persuasive work, photographer Shames and Wolf, director of publications for the Family Resource Coalition, document in expressive pictures and brief vignettelike essays the work of programs in diverse communities across the United States that are actively (and successfully) working to provide disadvantaged children and their families with the kinds of help they need to succeed in the world. Variously funded and staffed, these programs share goals: teaching living skills, emphasizing personal responsibility, and above all, providing extended surrogate-family support within the community, which itself is also strengthened in the process. While Lisbeth Schorr's Common Purpose (LJ 9/15/97) covers the topics in greater depth, this work shows that these flexible, community-based efforts can and do work. A reference list of some 32 programs is included. Recommended for the general public. Suzanne W. Wood, SUNY Coll. of Technology, Alfred, NY.
Moore 

Six years ago, Shames published Outside the Dream (1991), a brief but powerful collection of his penetrating photographs of child poverty in America. . . . In recent years, Shames has worked with the Family Resource Coalition to identify solutions for poor children and their families and to take interactive, involving photographs that hint at reasons why they work. . . . The center of Shames' story is the connection between kids and the parents, teachers, and volunteers at . . . programs throughout the country. Those links open possibilities that can help a child survive and move beyond the limits poverty too often sets. This vivid volume's royalties will go to the Outside the Dream Foundation Shames founded after publishing his previous book. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company.
Carroll 

For decades, photojournalist Stephen Shames took pictures of people in trouble. Homeless families. Kids in gangs, on drugs, as prostitutes. Victims of child abuse. . . . Led by the question 'What Works?' he spent two years traveling the country, documenting those people striving for a better life--and succeeding. The news is good. Every day, at-risk families are achieving financial and emotional stability. The common denominator: family support programs. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company.
