Photo of Laurie Anthony.Laurie Anthony, her husband, and their son moved from Ohio to New York City so their son could attend a performing arts high school for one year. Laurie was immediately drawn to the homeless faces on the streets. After only a few weeks there, she knew she wanted to learn more about homelessness and hopefully help someone. Her book was a result of many hours spent with J.C., a homeless panhandler by Carnegie Hall. His story intrigued her and a unique friendship developed between them as she learned more about the challenge of homelessness and the importance of compassion. Laurie's book tells about her experience with J.C. and how her friendship made a difference in his life.
