A Message of Hope, Resilience, and Opportunity
Poverty to Possibility: Snapshots from a Yorkshire Boyhood by Diane Bailey-Boulet (Evensong Press 2020)
“In Britain during the desperate Depression-era 1930s and war-torn 1940s, a poor but promising and determined coal miner’s son finds the friendship, love, and community he needs to break the forceful grip of poverty and let his boldest dreams take flight.”
Diane’s book—both social history and family memoir—shines a light on the opportunities that come for people, organizations, and communities when we see people beyond the surface and beyond stereotypes. It highlights the benefits for all when we see the potential in, encourage, and invest in children from under-resourced backgrounds.
