Far From Home by Clare Nonhebel

This powerful and compelling book will radically change the way we think about the homeless. In the frank words of a diverse assortment of people, who have at some time lost their homes, we can see ourselves mirrored, but for circumstances.

As the common stereotype of the homeless is the drunken tramp or young person huddled in a doorway, we eaily forget that family breakdown, illness and unemployment can intervene in any life to make leaving home a necessity.

But what do we mean by "home" anyway? Isn't it more than the roof over our heads? In these deeply moving stories readers come to understand that homelessness is a condition of the human spirit. Sooner or later we all face the homelessness of the heart.
