Critiques

Very unlike Rosa Lee, in that this book reads like an account of Dash's experiences rather than a telling of the young women's stories. He did well abandoning this approach in Rosa Lee.

Dash uses the articles he wrote in his Pulitzer Prize winning series as jump off points to go more in-depth into Rosa Lee's life and family than he could in the newspaper. Must read for anyone wanting to understand poverty.

This was a memorable book about inter-generational poverty and drug use. It showed how the bad choices of one person affects a family for generations.
