This fictional account is based on the author’s real and gradual descent into the condition of homelessness in San Francisco. This is a rough and tough story that truthfully and graphically depicts the kinds of characters who live in this condition and what, in addition to their homelessness, they must contend with in terms of food, weather, injury, illness, the police, government agencies, charities and – most terrifying of all – their peers. This book neither idealizes nor vilifies homelessness. This is a no-holds-barred tale of what it is really like to be homeless. Get ready to shed your preconceived ideas about the subject. No one who reads this book will ever feel the same about the homeless.
