A wonderful book about a very difficult and sad time in this man's life. I worried through the whole thing about the dog...but all seems to have worked out fine.

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.… (meer)

As a very personal account of homelessness coming after incredible wealth, this book brought home to me the diversity within the homeless population. Highly recommended.

An eye opening book about the plight and community of our homeless population. Would have enjoyed a little more back story, but a good read.
