Through stories of young girls, social workers, educators,
professionals and so many more, The Other Side of the
Fence is an exploration of hidden poverty and the drastic
inequalities that it presents. Through the eyes of young
girls, the book delves into three areas in which
adolescents are most impacted by poverty. The first part
explores the hand they are dealt in life and the endless,
unequal opportunities that emerge as a result. Second is
the life inside of the classroom and the educational
experience for a low-income student and how it differs
from that of their higher income peers. Finally, the book
looks at the way in which poverty can affect a young
adolescent's self-esteem, sense of self and view of the
world. But throughout the disparities emerge stories of
strength and positive growth. Through the dedication of
compassionate adults, we see how enriching, encouraging,
inspiring and educating the lives of these young girls can
mean a world of difference.
