    About this ebook

    Nobody sets out to become homeless or to sleep rough. But circumstances can conspire against you, leaving you vulnerable, frightened, very alone and perhaps even abused. Norwich Quaker Robert Ashton decided to he wanted to understand what led people to live sleep rough in our cities and spent summer 2019 talking to people in and around the streets of his city.
    Reading this book will give you an insight into homelessness and rough sleeping. Furthermore this book has been crowdfunded, so that most of the price you pay will go to St Martins, the Norwich charity that helps the homeless build a better life.
