Father Boyle is a saint on earth. His work with Homeboy Industries has caught the attention of everyone from Japanese tourists to the White House and once you read this book you will understand why. He is hope for gang members in L.A. He gives them what no one else ever has and the results are amazing. Not all of his stories have happy endings though and that is the hardest part. No matter how much one of these kids wants to turn their lives around sometimes their environment gets the better of them. This book will make you chuckle and it will probably make you cry, too. You will definitely learn a thing or two about who you are along the way as well. Read it. You won’t regret it.
