Fascinating stories, vignettes of men and women the author has met and related with, some for years. My home is in Portland,the book's setting, but I live in a different world.
Father Smith reveals his own feelings and thoughts. he may be one of those saints among us who lives for others. He laughs and cries with the homeless and the barely-housed; mourns their losses and failures and rejoices with their successes, no matter how small.
I felt richer in more ways than one for having read this book.
