Alex Kotlowitz talks about two brothers who grew up in Chicago's HHH Henry Horner Home (HHH) in the late 1980s and their mothers Pharaoh, Lafayette, and La Jo River. In this story boys are trying to preserve young people, but they are fighting drug addiction with constant gang violence, familiar people's death, brothers prisons, fathers. At Horner there are two groups that claim it is their region, and the river family always avoids all shooting.
Alex Kotlowitz has no children living at home. Even after decades, the lives of this family and children who are immersed in government housing projects are still one of the most sensitive and true perceptions of urban poverty. For those who want to understand these reality, I ask you to read. Brennan Manning enthusiasm for the god. Due to our anxiety and dull trauma to all of our inferior voices, I thought this to be the most powerful work of Brennan Manning. This small book is very powerful, declares the magic of God's love in a way that endures our deepest struggle and does not answer.

Alex Kotlowitz's "No Children" is the most painful of all the books that have recently garnered attention to the continuation of poverty in American society. This book records the lives of Lafayette and Pharaoh at 9 and 12 years old. The boys live in Henry Horner Homes, a public housing project full of Chicago crime and drugs. Kotlowitz recorded the fight against the welfare department of the mother, the brother's imprisonment, the friend's drug-related murder, and the small success at school. In his report, isolation from the hometown's big city economy by Henry Horna is implied, and social institutions such as schools, law enforcement agencies and welfare systems can not take any action against it.
