Synopsis

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent!" - Amazon Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Eye opening and poignant." - Amazon Review

Harvard Square is not only the business district around Harvard University, it's also a gathering place for some of the city's homeless.

What is life like for people who are homeless who live in Harvard Square? Do they have anything to tell us about life? And God?

While finishing up his degree at Harvard, John Christopher Frame stepped outside the walls of academia and onto the streets, spending a summer with this homeless community.

During those ten weeks, John better understood a world he'd known only from the outside, learning more about life on the streets, and about the lives of people who are homeless.

In this unique book, the author's narrative is intertwined with the words of four of John's street companions. They share their own stories, offering insider perspectives of life as they see it.

Homeless at Harvard shows how John learned with, from, and about his homeless friends, sharing an unforgettable story--told together--of life on the streets.
