"What a wonderful book showing the creativity and caring community of the homeless. Richard LeMieux writes about his year of homelessness after losing it all except for his van and Wonder Dog, Willow.
Some of the episodes in the book can really drag you down. Some of the characters will make you laugh out loud. Throughout the book, it gnawed at me wondering what the author did. I can understand the financial loss but for his own children to turn his back on him?
So, I wouldn't call this book enjoyable to read. But it does make you think and will make you give a second look at the next homeless person you meet."
"I'm currently reading this book- so far, I've found it incredibly moving and though-provoking. I especially admired how Richard was able to tell a story featuring much despair and human suffering with such a feeling of hope and an emphasis on the good. I recommend this book to anyone."
"A subject I would normally avoid (as do most), this "homeless man's journey" is both easy to read and provides the reader a well written, touching, and first-hand point of view of homelessness. It's changed the way I look at the issue."
"When my husband and I were volunteering wth the homeless in the 1980's there was this saying that we heard repeatedly, "Anyone can be a few pay checks away from being homeless." If this last year didn't teach us anything it should have shown us the truth in that saying. At one time we ended up starting over, lucky for us my mom let us live with her until we got back on our feet. Richard was not so lucky. This book is emotionaly hard to read, but I had tears of joy when I finished it. Go on the journey wilth Richard and Willow, you might see things differently."
