520    Inside the lives of homeless teens -- moving stories of 
       pain and hope from Covenant House. Almost Home tells the 
       stories of six remarkable young people from across the 
       United States and Canada as they confront life alone on 
       the streets. Each eventually finds his or her way to 
       Covenant House, the largest charity serving homeless and 
       runaway youth in North America. From the son of a crack 
       addict who fights his own descent into drug addiction to a
       teen mother reaching for a new life, their stories veer 
       between devastating and inspiring as they each struggle to
       find a place called home.
