About the Photographer and Editor Susan E. Herdman:

During my many years as an art teacher, I found myself on the listening end of many stories from students, some of which made me realize that there are many heroic young people out there struggling to simply get through each day. This book is for all teens who search for self understanding. It is my hope that these narratives will help teens realize that they are not alone.

About the Book

Susan Herdman..was able to take up the sorely needed, if passive-seeming, role of witness, while yet conveying genuine interest in and feeling for the young people you will meet here. It was important to them to be heard - not just by a peer - but by an adult. As a result, I believe you will encounter a beautiful and touching reality in the faces and voices of the young people presented here.
