Synopsis

A collection of interviews and stories of people who are homeless, living in New Haven. A book that will "touch your soul and broaden your perspective on homelessness" (Frderick "Jerry" Streets - Chaplain, Yale University). "These enchanting stories, told by voices from a world parallel to ours, where home is a luxury and possessions are for losing, reveal love and pain and happiness and heartbreak." (Susan Cheever). "Homeless people are so often presented as problems, victims, or threats. In this book they present themselves - as people. When you read the stories - funny, tragic, sometimes heroic - in this beautiful book, you will find a part of humanity no longer alien to you." (Jeremy Brecher - Humanities Scholar in Residence, Connecticut Public Television and Radio).
