About this audiobook

Dive into the bustling heart of New York City at the turn of the 20th century. Children of the Tenements by Jacob A. Riis isn't just a story, it's a journey into a world of cramped quarters, flickering gaslight, and indomitable spirit. Listen as Riis unfolds the lives of children facing poverty, hardship, and the fight for a glimmer of hope. You'll meet the resourceful "kid" hanging his Christmas stocking, the brave little messenger braving the city streets, and many more. Children of the Tenements is a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring power of compassion, even in the darkest corners.
