| Publisher Description: Homeless people. We see them at intersections. We see them in front of stores. We see them in tents, shelters, and sleeping at bus stops. We wonder why they refuse to work and get off the streets. We are quick to condemn them as delinquents, drug addicts, or just lazy. But-do we ever get to know them? Do we try to put ourselves in their shoes? Sebastian Galloway went to college and worked hard to make a living for himself, but after being laid off from his job and being denied affordable housing, he is forced to live with the same people he used to give pocket change to. His American dream turns into a mirage, and he realizes that misfortune visits even the most unexpected of people. He also receives comfort in knowing that there are people in the village who are in the same predicament as he is, and they work together for the sake of one cause: survival. Welcome to Tent Village. *To help combat the serious reality of homelessness 20% of the profits of each book will be donated to Salvation Army and Pacific Garden Mission.* |
