SUMMARY:April Non-Fiction Book: There Are No Children Here
DESCRIPTION:Chicago Non-fiction Book Club\n\nHi everyone! \n\nAfter our phi
 losophical discussions last event\, let's come back down to earth (and clos
 e to home) and get to know two boys growing up in poverty on Chicago's West
  Side. \n\n"There Are No Children Here\, the true story of brothers Lafeyet
 te and Pharoah Rivers\, ages 11 and 9 at the start\, brings home the horror
  of trying to make it in a violence-ridden public housing project. The boys
  live in a gang-plagued war zone on Chicago's West Side\, literally learnin
 g how to dodge bullets the way kids in the suburbs learn to chase baseballs
 ... This book humanizes the problem of inner-city pathology\, makes readers
  care about Lafeyette and Pharoah more than they may expect to\, and offers
  a sliver of hope buried deep within a world of chaos." - Amazon.com \n\n"A
 lex Kotlowitz joins the ranks of the important few writers on the subject o
 f urban poverty." - Chicago Tribune \n\nFor April\, our book will be:    \n
 \nThere Are No Children Here: The Story of Two Boys Growing Up in The Other
  America \nby Alex Kotlowitz \n\nThere Are No Children Here \n\nWe'll be me
 eting at the Lincoln-Belmont branch of the Chicago Public Library in West L
 akeview.  The library is down the street from the Paulina brown line stop a
 nd accessible from the Belmont\, Ashland\, and Lincoln buses.  The library 
 has a parking lot and street parking in the neighborhood is widely availabl
