In the suburban world of nice homes, neat lawns, and new cars, it’s easy to forget about social justice. Life keeps us busy, and the poor and disenfranchised are invisible as we go from our garage to our workplace and back. But suburbanites can be a force for social justice. In this unique book, the reader journeys with a young couple from the ‘burbs as they learn to notice and act on issues of justice that abound no matter where you live. Kiss apathy and ignorance goodbye in favor of a life of concern and action in order to help our fellow humans.
