SynopsisLatoya was molested by her mother's boyfriend when she was eight years old. Chungo's uncle was shot four times in the head in a gang turf war. Ashley was dragged off school grounds in handcuffs and shackles. Sandy finds out she is pregnant, but is so ashamed, she conceals it for four months while attending school daily. Welcome to the world of today's troubled teenagers. Florida's Sun Sentinel Newspaper calls "Voices in the Hall," "a book-in-progress of surprising depth, complexity and heart.""Voices in the Hall" is a riveting and compelling account of kids in our school system, as told to the one adult who will listen to them: their teacher. As students in an at-risk Drop-Out Prevention class in an urban school, they speak out freely through hand written journals they write in class, telling their stories to the one person they grow to trust over time, and who will do as much as she can to protect their secrets and guide them through a maze of personal, social, school, and legal issues, which at times seem more than any adolescent can bear., Latoya was molested by her mother's boyfriend when she was eight years old.
