Who are the homeless? These are nameless, faceless people who live in shame, frustration, and regret which is reflected in their daily lives. Often society sees them as drug addicts, alcoholics, mentally ill, and unmotivated. Those factors can be found in those without shelter, yet that alone will not reflect the total sum of challenges which they have faced.
This book shares real stories about real people who were homeless. Some are mothers. Some are children. Some are disabled. Some are gravely ill with chronic conditions. The factors leading them homelessness are multiple. Some factors are of their recent history. Some factors are long term such as climate in their home of origin as children.

Rather, if it has any purpose, this book is intended to stir the hearts of people of compassionate nature and deep faith into action. There are many lessons to be learned taught by those who have lived without shelter.
