A poignant and heartbreaking look at the trickledown effects of generational trauma, racism, classism, the failure of the public education system and over policing in the community of Kensington. Live to see the Day takes a hard look at the struggles faced within the Kensington boarders while highlighting the importance of the implementation of harm reduction, second chances, community outreach and the overwhelming need for change.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the advanced copy.

This was a powerful read but also sad at the state our country is in. While focused on Philadelphia, these issues could be seen in any other major city. The trauma as well as socioeconomic disadvantage was heartbreaking.

AGH! This was so well done and I'm so thankful to Macmillan Audio, Netgalley, and Nikhil Goyal for granting me advanced audiobook access to this grotesquely horrific depiction of America's impoverished communities, being dealt very little and even less as time goes on. With politicians touting Pro-Life sanctions left and right, it's pretty corrupt given how government and the system it runs couldn't get a rat's ass about children growing up and getting handed around from bandaid fix to another.

I think this was really sad, but also really informative of how things are set up, unfortunately. I think everyone should listen or at least read this book, because it was so profound.
