Listened to audio-book & was intrigued throughout the whole story. Loved it! Of course, as of spring/summer 2009 this will be a movie! Moving & inspiring!

I enjoyed this book.Homelessness is such a complicated issue however Lopez was very honest in his relationship with Nathaniel. His story helped me to better understand mental illness and the ways society can reach out should be encouraged . It is so sad to realize many of the people that are on the streets can be helped it is just a very slow process and can only be accomplished with all parties willing to try.The story left me wondering how Nathaniel is today and I wonder how his story will go forth.
