About More Than Words Inc. Massachusetts, United States

Biblio member since 2016
Seller rating: This seller has earned a 4 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.

First line

A TALL, THIN, WAN LADY with light skin, wide blue eyes, and black hair, she had a distinct presence on the psychiatric ward of the Massachusetts General Hospital, an institution otherwise devoted to medicine and surgery, where I began work early in July 1956.

From the rear cover

'In this persuasive book, Robert Coles makes clear his profound belief in the 'call of stories' and their usefulness, their moral support.' --Helen Bevington, 'New York Times Book Review'
