Rachel and Her Children

A detailed Summary of Rachel and Her Children


The first book I read was Rachel and Her Children, by Jonathan Kozol. The author created an image in the reader?fs mind of the harsh circumstances and living conditions of today?fs homeless families. Through his personal encounters and interviews with these families he dramatizes the effects of the living conditions on the psychological and physical health of the homeless, especially the children and pregnant women. The author thought it seemed almost contradictory to call these people "homeless". Today?fs society has the common belief that the homeless are all alike
