Letting It Go-A Bereaving Mother, Delinquent Girls, and the Power
of Rehabilitative Poetry Therapy"Anyone who has suffered and cares
about our world (that probably includes everyone) will be moved and
changed by this book." Elizabeth Lesser, author of the New York
Times bestseller Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow
Experience the poignant real-life story of how author Sharon Charde
was saved by her relationship with incarcerated young women at
Touchstone, a residential all-female treatment center in
Litchfield, Connecticut. And, learn how these young women-confined
for crimes such as using drugs, truancy, assault, prostitution, and
running away-were rehabilitated by their poetry teacher. Letting go
of grief and loss by writing poetry as therapy. I Am Not a Juvenile
Delinquent is a book for fans of the acclaimed movie Stand and
Deliver. After the death of her child, a grief-stricken
psychotherapist, teacher, and writer volunteers as a poetry teacher
at a residential treatment facility for "delinquent" girls. Here,
their mutual support nourishes and enriches each other, though not
without large quantities of drama and recalcitrance. As Sharon and
the girls share their losses through weekly writing, they came to
realize their unlimited potential and poetic talents. Healing from
trauma. Healing can come in surprising ways across age and social
class, as it did for both the girls and Sharon. But what happens
when Sharon finally grasps that the most challenging experiences
are the best teachers? Narrated in five parts, the book also
contains poems written by the girls, as well as excerpts from their
writing, Sharon's son's writing, and her own. If you have read
books such as Why are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the
Cafeteria?, For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood, The Freedom
Writers Diary, Between the World and Me, So You Want to Talk about
Race, or Reviving Ophelia; you will love I Am Not a Juvenile
Delinquent.
