Bring Them Back Alive

HELPING TEENS GET OUT AND STAY OUT OF TROUBLE

By Jose M. de Olivares

Conversational but unflinching, this insightful guide is the result of the author’s decades of personal experience helping teenagers get out and stay out of trouble. Written without pretension, political agenda, or lofty theorizing, Bring Them Back Alive explains the gritty allure of “the street” and describes the practical steps for bringing teens who have crossed the line back into mainstream society -alive.
