Description:"Colleen Adams is saving lives." - Todd Bass, Miami Dade State Attorney's OfficeImagine a world where children’s role models are drug addicts and criminals. Where attending funerals of their friends seems as commonplace as hanging out at the mall and where taking out the trash might result in being shot to death. Electricity and functional plumbing aren’t guaranteed. Is this some war-torn country or maybe a struggling third–world nation? No. Such is the life of poverty-stricken inner city AMERICA.By stark contrast, Colleen Adams hailed from the racially segregated south in the 1940’s and climbed her way to the elite end of the social scale. But after accomplishing hollow success as a fashion and publishing marketing executive, Colleen heeded her life’s calling to tackle the hopelessness and despair of disenfranchised inner city young men. But could one person provide the means for youth from the most crime-ridden and poverty-stricken neighborhoods to actually achieve the American Dream?'Hope in the Hood' is the inspiring true story of one woman’s improbable dream to offer a brighter future for struggling inner city young men. Author Shirley Alarie conveys the raw and emotional struggles and successes through the voices of the young men, and the magic as seen through their mentors and judicial system experts.
