This book gives a voice to the silent sorrow of homelessness.”-Colleen Taylor, President of the Ladybug Foundation and mother of its young founder, Hannah TaylorPortions of the proceeds of this book will go to the following charitable agencies:Youth Unlimited, The Daily Bread Food Bank, The Ladybug Foundation and Frontlines.
