From the Ashes

This book should be on everyone's read list. Throughout this book I thought several times how often i hear and read about people (especially in the PNW) complaining about unhoused folx. If every person who had barriers and struggles like Jesse did were able to tell their stories, it would be much more difficult to judge them and treat them less than human. I've worked in social services for 30 years and have worked with so many families/youth with similar struggles to Jesse. This memoir is heartbreaking and redemptive. Thank you, Jesse, for being vulnerable and so eloquently sharing your life.
