One class of advanced English students and another class of English learners come together to put their thoughts and secrets of life into an anthology through the use of short, personal narratives. These undiscovered teen writers discuss a wide range of life's important issues, such as young love, surviving in a new country, learning a new language, losing a family member, and many more. Consisting of mostly minority students, this group battles through and conquers some of life's more challenging obstacles hidden in the everyday living of California's valley of Kern County. Writing from the classroom of their English teacher, Mr. Tripp, these Golden Valley High School students truly represent their school through their honest and sincere golden writing.
