Making Raisins Dance - Sylvia Weiss Sinclair

. .

Résumé :
Making Raisins Dance is a well written, very descriptive dedication to making a difference in the inner city, troubled kids of L.A. by a former student and teacher, who takes pride in her chosen profession.
This story is a recollection of good times and bad, of promises made and broken, and of giving one's all to make a difference. Hoping for miracles does not make them happen, but helping a miracle
come within one's grasp might make the difference necessary to influence a child's future. A touching story.
