"Extraordinarily affecting....A very important book....To read and remember the stories in this book, to take them to heart, is to be called as a witness." THE BOSTON GLOBE There is no safety net for the millions of heartbroken refugees from the American Dream, scattered helplessly in any city you can name. RACHEL AND HER CHILDREN is an unforgettable record for humanity, of the desperate voices of the men, women, and especially children, and their hourly struggle for survival, homeless in America. From the Trade Paperback edition.

I‘m preparing a lecture related to homelessness and pulled these off of my shelf. Rereading these stories and poems helps you to refocus on the plight of many people who are not afforded even the basic dignities of society. Be kind and cherish all people. Your smile may be the only one some people are given today.

bromeliad We read Glass Castle in college to learn more about homelessness. Powerful book. 5y

Come-read-with-me @bromliad It is a powerful book. She paints such a stunning/shocking picture of her life. 5y
