First Chance: How Kids with Nothing Can Change Everything

The book examines the challenges facing kids who have endured foster care or the incarceration of a mother (a soaring number) and their triumphs against all odds. Author Bob Carr hopes that readers acknowledge the great and often untapped talents of kids who have overcome adversity, both economic hardship and family woes, and the power of a helping hand and pivotal guidance, as Carr has proven with the remarkable success of his college scholarship and mentoring program, Give Something Back. Carr, himself stands as an incredible narrative of how a good man can spark change that transforms so many lives.
