Doors of Hope combats many issues in order to help ex-offenders improve their lives and stay away from a life of crime. However, the most pressing and most difficult issue that Doors of Hope works to combat is drug addiction. All of the girls who are a part of the program suffer from some type of drug addiction whether it is substance related or alcohol related. From a biological perspective, drug abuse produces changes in the brain that contribute to the difficulties people experience in combatting drug addiction (Volkow, 2007; Horvath, Mishra, Epner, & Cooper, 2013).

The goal of healing homes is to develop and foster nurturing Hispanic adoptive and foster homes that responds to the cultural, emotional, and behavioral needs of at-risk Hispanic youths in the foster care system. Rooted in the belief that every child walks their own path and has the ability to reach full potential, Healing Homes focuses on a curriculum that teaches parents and caregivers how to be better listeners and supportive parents and enables children to improve. According to Dettlaf & Rycraft (2010), “immigrant Latino children and families represent the largest and fastest-growing population in the United States, and thus require the attention of child welfare systems and the development of evidence-based practices designed to respond to the unique needs of this population.”

Many times, authors have a title to their work that can be intriguing and thought provoking, as if it were bait to an inevitable hook that would catch and keep you enthralled. In Alan Lawson’s circumstance, this is not the case. In Lawson’s A Commonwealth of Hope: The New Deal Response to Crisis, the title is very straight forward, as most would expect from a work mainly targeting the attentions of colleagues and other scholarly minds. The highly biographical book leads its readers on a chronological story of the Great Depression, the social and political life of Franklin Roosevelt and the progression of reformist ideas that sparked the New Deal.
