These reflections on persons experiencing homelessness and poverty--the outcasts of our society--help readers to understand the potential within all human beings to teach us something about the world and ourselves.
some are addicts o drugs and alcohol, some have been turned out by their families, and others are simply lost beings on the streets of our townd and cities. Yet the words of Henry Garon turn them from objects--often slovenly individuals who sleep on park bences, in subways and buses, or sheltered beneath store fronts--into children of God, individuals with their own losses and dreams. While some are simply 'loners, ' others truly want a connection with someone willing to listen. As we listen by reading their stores, they enrich us and help us to see more clearly those whose eyes we've tried to avoid.
