barefoot charlie and the book of dreams "the director's cut"

barefoot charlie and the book of dreams is made up of stories of people who stay in a homeless shelter or on the streets, told through a series of vignettes by the author. these vignettes show how the coarse reality of poverty combined with addiction and in concert with mental illnesses can lead to a person losing their housing. The struggles presented by these problems show the full-spectrum of human emotions and serve as a reminder that most of us are but a series of misfortunes away from the harsh reality of homelessness.
