  <default-description>This book tells the story of 40 high-school drop-outs over a period of twenty years who have attended the Community School, a small alternative school in Camden, Maine. The students' stories indirectly reveal the history of the school itself, its fragile beginning and growth pangs as staff learned from students.</default-description>
