'A necessary read for anyone serious about personal transformation and peace in our communities.' Luis Rodriguez, Poet Laureate of Los Angeles, and author of 'Always Running: La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A.'A provocative, inspiring, and highly original take on the education and healing of troubled, alienated and gang involved youth. These are beautiful, harrowing stories of transformation as both a high-crime urban and a reservation Indian community decide to throw out convention and rethink what it means, and what it takes, to raise their most alienated and difficult children.Raised in East Los Angeles and also a professional musician, Hernandez-Sametier has been a teacher, counselor and principal in some of the most difficult urban and rural school environments across the U.S. and Indian Country. He recently served as a therapist for high-trauma, unaccompanied minors detained by U.S. immigration. In 2006, he was honored as the 'national educator of the year' by the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education.
