High School Survivors

I'm a bit late recognizing the excellence of Liz Bowie's series "On Their Own," which the Baltimore Sun ran in mid October. Bowie and photographer André Chung spent much of a school year with high school seniors Iven Bailey and Gary Sells, two of 2,289 homeless students in Baltimore. The series is a moving tale of two young men trying to find hope while struggling with little help from their families against desperate odds. Bowie's reporting is deep and her writing is beautiful.
