Description
Invisible Child Poverty, Survival and Hope in New York City by Andrea Elliott is a deeply moving account of a young girl's life in the shadows of New York City's homeless crisis. Born at the turn of a new century, Dasani Coates' story spans nearly a decade, tracing the passage of her ancestors from slavery to the Great Migration north. As Dasani navigates the challenges of poverty, hunger, parental drug addiction, and housing instability, she must confront the impossible question: what if leaving poverty means abandoning the family you love? This book is a heart-wrenching and revelatory portrayal of the power of resilience, the importance of family, and the cost of inequality. Through Dasani's story, Elliott sheds light on the struggles of a generation growing up in poverty, and the ways in which the system fails to support those who need it most. With a narrative that is both heartbreaking and inspiring, Invisible Child is a powerful exploration of the human spirit in the face of adversity. With its unflinching honesty and unvarnished portrayal of life on the margins, Invisible Child is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
