Synopsis
Los Angeles is a place of movie stars and fast cars and people who are too rich and people who are too poor. An area of freeway chases and drive-bys and death. But there's another L.A., one where warmth and humor and humanity pervade. Where a tacqueria sign declares: "One cause, one people, one taco." This L.A. is a place where random acts of generosity and goodwill improve the lives of the community. Any Small Goodness is a novel filled with hope, love, and warmth.

November 03, 2006: I'm a high school teacher working with teens who struggle with reading in an inner city neighborhood. This book is easy to read but also contains mature topics that resonated with my students. I found that this book is a great spring board to discusions about metaphors, social justice, poverty, immigration and many other topics. Completing this book gave my students more confidece in their reading abilities. It leaves the reader with a sense of hope that any small goodness does count.
