Nope, not my book, sad to say, but an important book -- a book about homelessness from a grassroots organizer who has run the gauntlet -- from homeless Vietnam vet to United Nations-lauded homeless activist. If anyone knows anything about where we've gone wrong, and what might help the problem a lot, it's Richard Troxell.

And his book just hit #807 on the ALL BOOKS list at Amazon.com!
