A Great Book About Homelessness

Under the Overpass: A Journey of Faith on the Streets of America I recently finished reading this book by Mike Yankoski. This book is about a young man that went from upper middle class to living on the streets. It was a journey of faith as he and a friend traveled from Denver to Washington DC, Phoenix, and other cities. They resorted to panhandling to earn money for food.
