Can a love for literature and learning save the most vulnerable of youth from a life of poverty? The Road Out is a gripping account of one teacher's journey of hope and discovery with her students-girls growing up poor in a neighborhood that was once home to white Appalachian workers, and is now a ghetto. Deborah Hicks, set out to give one group of girls something she never had: a first-rate education, and a chance to live their dreams. A contemporary tragedy is brought to life as she leads us deep into the worlds of Adriana, Blair, Mariah, Elizabeth, Shannon, Jessica, and Alicia?seven girls coming of age in poverty.This is a moving story about girls who have lost their childhoods, but who face the street's torments with courage and resiliency. "I want out," says 10-year-old Blair, a tiny but tough girl who is extremely poor and yet deeply imaginative and precocious. Hicks tries to convey to her students a sense of the power of fiction and of sisterhood to get them through the toughest years of adolescence. But by the time they're sixteen, eight years after the start of the class, the girls are experiencing the collision of their youthful dreams with the pitfalls of growing up in chaotic single-parent families amid the deteriorating cityscape. Yet even as they face disappointments and sometimes despair, these girls cling to their desire for a better future. The author's own life story-from a poorly educated girl in a small mountain town to a Harvard-educated writer, teacher, and social advocate-infuses this chronicle with a message of hope. 606 $aPoor girls$xEducation$zOhio$zCincinnati 606 $aPoor white people$xEducation$zOhio$zCincinnati 606 $aPoor girls$xBooks and reading$zOhio$zCincinnati 606 $aPoor girls$zOhio$zCincinnati$vAnecdotes 610 $aadolescence. 610 $aadult nonfiction. 610 $aagainst the odds. 610 $aappalachians. 610 $aclass differences. 610 $acoming of age. 610 $acontemporary history. 610 $aeducation system. 610 $aeducation. 610 $aeducators. 610 $aghetto. 610 $ajourney of discovery. 610 $alearning. 610 $amemoir. 610 $anonfiction account. 610 $apoor america. 610 $apoor neighborhoods. 610 $apoverty cycle. 610 $apoverty studies. 610 $apoverty. 610 $apower of fiction. 610 $arace and class. 610 $asingle parent families. 610 $asocial advocates. 610 $asocial issues. 610 $asocial justice. 610 $astudent life. 610 $ateachers and students. 610 $ateachers. 610 $aunited states. 610 $awomen and girls. 615 0$aPoor girls$xEducation 615 0$aPoor white people$xEducation 615 0$aPoor girls$xBooks and reading 615 0$aPoor girls 676 $a371.822 700 $aHicks$b Deborah$01496632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786078803321 996 $aThe road out$93721420 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05848nam 2200853 a 450 001 9910139714303321 005 20240131143016.0 010 $a9786613619624 010 $a9781118160077 010 $a111816007X 010 $a9781280589799 010 $a1280589795 010 $a9781118152829 010 $a1118152824 010 $a9781118152812 010 $a1118152816 010 $a9781118159828 010 $a1118159829 035 $a(CKB)2550000000082721 035 $a(EBL)817383 035 $a(OCoLC)775301822 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000600054 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11427988 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000600054 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10601086 035 $a(PQKB)11411939 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC817383 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL817383 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10529338 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL361962 035 $a(PPN)261610333 035 $a(Perlego)1014687 035 $a(Perlego)2776766 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000082721 100 $a20110715d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSystem dynamics $emodeling, simulation, and control of mechatronic systems /$fDean C.
