[Marisa Ford · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a raw and intimate view of the stories of new york city’s homeless population. Each story gives an unique view into the lives of those that society all too often overlooks. Beautiful and raw, each profile is as unique and deep as each person telling their story.

A heartfelt book written by my friend.

[Elisabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Factual testimonies of what it's like to live in the streets of New York, in Tompkins Square. Those people are strong and fragile, they are human and we tend to forget it, in the warmth of our homes.
