A testament to the enduring dignity of the human spirit


"Individually, these works speak to the tragedy of child abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse and the terrible pain that humans are capable of inflicting. But as a collection, On Our Way... is a testament to the enduring dignity of the human spirit, to the incredible power of healing. That these words are largely written by children and young adults is both inspirational and amazing."
