DESCRIPTION:
Young Lee seemed plagued with a constant cycle of disappointment and failure, yet in the midst of his challenges, Lee was blessed with significant people in his life who helped set him on a path to hope and joy. This unique true narrative is told through a series of meetings between Lee and an educator who saw something special in Lee at age 12 and ultimately accompanied Lee through his extraordinary journey into his adult life. His ability to mentally remove himself from his surroundings, even in a crowd of people, was a coping mechanism Lee used to escape his painful circumstances and to feign a mask of confidence and control. Lee was a fat, throwaway kid born into financial and emotional poverty as the child of an alcoholic father. Alone in a Crowd is a vital story for anyone who has a direct influence on the lives of children and desires to make an indelible, positive impact.

My Granddaughter recommended this book to me after her class read the book and had a visit from Dr. Long. I think every school teacher and parent should have access to this book!! I too would love to meet Dr. Long. What an incredible story.
