“A win/win when it comes to making you feel good – the stories will do just that, and buying this book will help homeless people.” Val McDermid

“Jack Reacher is a wanderer by choice. Others are homeless through no fault of their own – illness, the loss of a job, the loss of a partner. We need a better system. Buy this book and you'll enjoy some great stories, and you'll help Shelter – our best advocate for housing fairness.” Lee Child

“What a treasure trove of stories! Each one has a different style and I enjoyed all of them. A highly recommended collection for a good cause!” Glynis Peters

“I loved every page! Each story was the hug I needed, and the stories from this amazing collection of talented authors were told with poignancy. Exactly what the world needs right now.” Jessica Ryn

LJ Ross is an international bestselling author, best known for creating atmospheric mystery and thriller novels, including the DCI Ryan series of Northumbrian murder mysteries which have sold over 6 million copies worldwide.

I normally listen to murder mystery or historical fiction, so I was constantly waiting for the twists that trouble people. Instead all I got was happiness, kindness, love. I cried at several of the stories, but happy tears. This book is a beautiful collection of beautiful stories. Narrators were amazing. Highly recommend.
