Staff Review
This book moved me so much. Father Greg Boyle works with Mexican-American gang members in East Los Angeles who are out of prison and out of choices. He started Homeboy Industries to give these young men and women a place to work and thrive. The story of tragedies and triumphs of these young people had me crying and laughing, sometimes within the same page.
