Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2012
Dancing with Broken Bones portrays the end-of-life moments of inter-city poor. This book is unique in its ability to tell real-life stories and bring understanding to a topic so oft forgotten about.

I recommend this book for any really -- but especially those interested in working with urban poverty, no matter their profession or invovlement.
