This amazing book captures one Catholic nun's compelling story about her work with young people who are growing up poor and tough in a Mexican barrio in California. In 1993, a sixteen year-old was shot and killed in a gang-related incident behind Sister Eileen McNerney's residence. Deeply affected by the tragedy, Sr. McNerney gathered support and began Taller San Jose (St. Joseph's Workshop) in 1995. Taller San Jose is a successful, non-profit, continuing education project for mostly Latino young men and women in crisis. The stakes are high and the future often seems grim, yet when Sr. McNerney enters the world of Latino youth at risk, she lets them teach her about life--theirs and hers.
