The Book of Homelessness | Joanna Brown

The world's first-ever graphic novel created by people affected by homelessness. Comprised of their drawings, texts, visuals, and poems, this book gives ownership and control over who tells the stories of their lives and in what context. The stories contained in the book are personal, emotional, raw and honest. The stories are of pain, of abuse, of dysfunction, of families, of war, and of rejection and of misplaced love, of overcoming difficulties and of fighting and succeeding. This is a beautiful book that shows the complexities of homelessness and what causes it and the struggles that people have undertaken to succeed and flourish.
