"This book addresses the tragic suffering of the homeless. When we can get to the root causes of homelessness, identify them, and address them, this is helpful in assisting those who are unhoused. By sharing the story of one extraordinary individual, the author illustrates how many factors are involved in a person's past that are interrelated and which influence each other's outcomes. And solutions involve psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, faith communities, schools, and the government officials who write policy decisions into law. Solutions seem elusive and estimates of the resources needed are staggering. But with concerted efforts there is hope." -- Provided by publisher.
