Using poignant stories of teenagers and adults of severely disadvantaged backgrounds, this is an exploration of how some people manage to overcome the most desperate of circumstances and achieve the seemingly unreachable goal of a college degree. Levine culls out the factors that made the difference and provides potent advice to colleges, universities, communities and families for smoothing the pathway to college for disadvantaged youth.
