Glimpses is a collection of 26 fictional stories about disaffected teenagers. Meet Chenai who self-harms as a result of being sexually abused; Scott whose father forces him to beg; Malena, the teenage mother; Yuan, who is motorbike mad; Todd who questions his sexuality, plus many more characters who have to cope with the dilemma of growing up in an imperfect world. Glimpses contains stories about children who live their lives through disappointment, abuse and terror. It covers a wide range of social issues ranging from poor parenting, racism, bullying, mental health, illiteracy, truancy, poverty and the underclass, drug and alcohol issues - as well as criminal behavior including gang culture and use of weapons. Humans are shaped by experience - what happens when these experiences go bad? Henry uses these stories to show the reader that there are reasons for disaffection while reminding us that there is so much untapped potential in troubled young people. FROM THE PUBLISHER We are thrilled to republish this book, it is a collection of 26 fabulous stories about young offenders that will be beneficial to anyone working with children in a capacity of a social worker or anyone interesting in humanities.
