Review
"Over 20 years my work with young people has been wonderful at times and hell at times. There have been magic moments and times when I wondered what was the point of it all. If this book can make life a little bit easier and a little bit more productive for anyone who leads young people, in whatever capacity, then its writing has been worthwhile." The author.
