www.BookShorts.com - Cathy Crowe always wanted to be a nurse, but she never planned to be a Street Nurse—a title she uses to evoke the horror of homelessness in a rich country like Canada. This first-hand experience with the disgrace of homelessness turned her into a housing advocate and introduced her to the ten contributors to her new book Dying For A Home. At the Toronto launch event attended by more than 80 people and press, Cathy graciously shared the stage with many of the book's contributors, including Kerre Briggs, who captured in just a few minutes the reality, wry humour, and determined hope of those who like him, Cathy, and their supporters -- The Atkinson Foundation, Sherbourne Health Centre, and publisher Between the Lines - ensure that the issue of homelessness remains front and centre on the country’s political agenda.
