From Harlem with Love: An Ivy Leaguer’s Inner-City Odyssey

by Dawn Raffel, Reader's Digest Editor at Large, Books

from harlem with love
A Harvard Law graduate, Joseph Holland headed for the desolation of 1980s Harlem, determined to help. His story is inspiring, eye-opening —and very fresh food for thought.

From the book: “They came to our outreaches for the food and clothing, but returned to the streets still hungry, needy, and hurting—week after week, month after month … To really make a difference, the intervention had to be holistic, going deeper than the needs of the body to lift the spirit while at the same time imparting practical guidance.”
