The individual stories are not reflected of everyone on Saint Andrew Street. The book will surely take you on a journey and challenge your very own principals and standards. The book also brings out the many efforts by the small business owners to bring forth change in this urban community. Sure, the Saint Andrew Street community has its problems like any other community in any part of the world. But what makes this community unique is that it has not forgotten the basics. This community remembers to treat people the way you would want to be treated. This community has not lost its sense of pride, self-worth and value.
