When Children Want Children door Leon Dash

Very unlike Rosa Lee, in that this book reads like an account of Dash's experiences rather than a telling of the young women's stories. He did well abandoning this approach in Rosa Lee.

Rosa Lee: A Mother and Her Family in Urban America door Leon Dash

Dash uses the articles he wrote in his Pulitzer Prize winning series as jump off points to go more in-depth into Rosa Lee's life and family than he could in the newspaper. Must read for anyone wanting to understand poverty.

Rosa Lee- door Leon Dash-

This was a memorable book about inter-generational poverty and drug use. It showed how the bad choices of one person affects a family for generations.
