Without a Home is a novel written by Edward P. Roe. The book tells the story of a young man named Harry Gilbert who, after the death of his father, is left without a home. With no family to turn to, Harry must navigate the streets of New York City, struggling to survive and find a place to call his own.Throughout the book, Harry encounters a wide range of characters, from kind-hearted strangers who offer him food and shelter to ruthless criminals who see him as an easy target. Despite the challenges he faces, Harry remains determined to make a life for himself and find a way out of his difficult situation.As the story unfolds, Harry's journey takes him through the slums of New York, where he witnesses firsthand the poverty and desperation of the city's most vulnerable residents. Along the way, he also learns valuable lessons about the importance of hard work, perseverance, and the power of human kindness.Ultimately, Without a Home is a moving and inspiring tale of one young man's struggle to overcome adversity and find his place in the world. Through Harry's experiences, readers gain a deeper understanding of the social and economic issues facing America's urban poor, as well as the resilience and strength of the human spirit.1881. Roe writes in the preface that it will soon be discovered that the modern opium or morphia habit has a large place in this volume. The story begins: It was an attractive picture that Martin Jocelyn looked upon through the open doorway of his parlor. His lively daughter Belle had invited half a score of her schoolmates to spend the evening, and a few privileged brothers had been permitted to come also. The young people were naturally selecting those dances which had some of the characteristics of a romp, for they were at an age when motion means enjoyment.
