Homeless persons take separate paths to society's disgrace. Losing everything-jobs, homes, families, health, self-respect -they make their way alone in a culture ignoring their presence. Against the odds, a few thrown-away individuals discover purpose in their jour-neys and reclaim personal value while navigating a subculture of abandonment. A collection of stories within a story of a ragtag company of washouts huddled together. They reveal disappointments, memories of better-and worse-years, struggles for survival and meaning, their reshaped world views. They stumble onto surprises of kindness and find hope des-pite defeat to build a sense of belonging. Choosing to pursue risky, gritty com-munity and to create safety, they become known-in the chaos of a tent village. Every person, no matter where they are, who they are, owns a story worth telling.
