Punching and Kicking: Leaving Canada's Toughest Neighbourhood by Kathy Dobson 💥2 for $14💥 - 🎊 Buy any two books from my closet for 14$🎊 Like New, Excellent condition People don't leave the Point, even if they move far away. Or at least that's how it seems to journalist Kathy Dobson. Growing up in the 1970s in Montreal's Point St. Charles, she provides a glimpse into the culture of extreme poverty. In this sequel to the highly-praised With a Closed Fist, Dobson shares her journey of trying to escape from what was once described as the toughest neighbourhood in Canada. Kathy and her five sisters, raised by their single mother, deal with slum landlords, "pervy uncles,” and their father-a mostly absent police officer who does occa- sional work on the side for the local mob. As Kathy grows up and starts attending college outside the Point, she has to learn how to survive in a new environment where problems aren't solved by a good punch to the head.
