Falling Down: a Teenager's True Story of Redemption Mr. Daniel P. Kelly 1. izdevums

Falling Down is a true story of a teenager who went down the wrong path and a family who struggled to keep up. It is meant to serve as proof to those families and children who cannot see a way out of a difficult situation that they are in and that they are not alone. There is reason to keep going and what they are going through is temporary. "I was not allowed to have anything that I could use to hurt myself or use to runaway, which included my shoes. The one thing I remember most was the ridiculous slippers they gave us to wear. Bright yellow foam with big smiley faces on them. As if I didn?t feel crazy enough." Daniel Kelly is now a middle school teacher in North Carolina. He also mentors at-risk teens in the hopes that they do not follow the same road he did. A portion of all proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to organizations that provide support to at-risk youth.
