Kids in Orange: Voices from Juvenile Detention
The gang leader doesn't like poetry, but will a detention center workshop show her how to express love for her newborn daughter? A teen boy dies of a drug overdose. Will his final poem speak what he cannot say?

In the middle of a career change from teacher to writer, Mindy Hardwick volunteered to facilitate a weekly poetry workshop at a juvenile detention center. By helping the teens write poetry about their lives, Mindy discovered strength and courage to grieve the loss of her father, find forgiveness and release the past.

A portion of the proceeds from this book will be used as a grant to hire writers to work with teens at Denney Juvenile Justice Center. The youth's poetry can be seen at: www.denneypoetry.org
