This review is from: Gotta Find a Home: Conversations with Street People (Kindle Edition)
The homeless are everywhere and what many don’t realize is that it can happen to anyone. Whether it’s due to illness, losing a job, mental issues, or just bad luck – it can be you out there.Dennis Cardiff has written an account of the conversations he had with the homeless and before you know it, you get drawn into each story and are eager to find out what happens. He writes in a way that allows you to see each person as an individual instead of just someone you pass on the street on the way to work.I enjoyed the conversations and getting to be a part of the world of the homeless. It’s a book that doesn’t judge but only allows you to glimpse into another world where people are in this situation for a variety of reasons; some through their own life choices and some through no fault of their own.
Those who have never found it necessary to sleep under a bridge and not know when they will have their next meal will often misunderstand the plight of the homeless. And those who presume to look down on those with no place to call home are very likely to misunderstand a lot of other disparities that could become better if people would care enough to want it to.

I’m not interested in fame or awards, although increased readership promotes the sales of my book. The proceeds of these sales all go directly to the people forced onto the street. The street people I talk to, on an almost daily basis, have become my best friends.
