Summary There are a lot of myths about the homeless. Homeless does not mean under educated jobless drug addict alcoholic or lazy. I never walked in their shoes so I don't judge. I wrote this book to share some of the stories of my homeless friends, And to show appreciation to some amazing mentors. Remember anyone can become homeless.
