SUMMARY:Book Group: "If You See Them: Young\, Unhoused\, and Alone in America" by Vicki Sokolik
DESCRIPTION:A moving exploration of the crisis of homeless youth—told through the inspiring stories of a woman on the frontlines and the kids themselves. \nThey hide in plain sight. They survive on free school breakfasts and lunches\, join school sports teams in order to shower\, sleep on friends’ couches\, in parks\, or on the streets. Their official designation is “unaccompanied homeless youth”—they are not “runaways” breaking free from strict parenting; these are kids seeking safety. They have escaped abusive parents\, have been abandoned\, or have never had a home to begin with. \nRead more on Amazon \nBrooke Kelly shares this month’s review. \nGrab a cup of coffee and join us monthly for an informal discussion about the best in Florida literature.
