Justice in the Burbs Book Description

In the suburban world of nice homes, neat lawns, and new cars, it can be easy to forget about social justice issues.

This engaging narrative helps readers kiss apathy and ignorance goodbye in favor of a life of concern and action in order to help our fellow human beings.
