This weekend I started reading the book called, “Finding My Way” by Toni Flynn.  I found the author’s life experiences to be stunning and sympathetic.  The author goes through a lot of emotions and feelings she encounter with homeless people while working at the shelters.  After reading a few chapters I became aware that many people raised in dysfunctional families do not necessarily grow up to have miserable lives, yet these people strive to become better persons  by understanding closely the circumstances others chose to live in.

Every chapter gives a heartbreaking sensation of the hidden issue of homelessness, and the ignorance of the people owning life luxuries.  Along with the discovery of her true identity and exploring events that advocate social change.  This book is presented differently than the rest of the books we have read throughout the course.  The book is based on a personal story inside the world of assisting the homeless, and the distressing feelings of the failures of society.  Reading this book, I can relate similar situations to my personal experiences working at the local homeless shelter.  Sometimes the feelings of distress and frustration can overwhelmed our self- consciousness regarding issues of hunger and homelessness that are challenging to prevent.  I recommend reading this book.
