A Heart Without A Home

A memoir about homelessness through the eyes of a young girl

9-year-old Nichole and her parents are evicted from their home because both of her parents are addicted to heroin. With nowhere left to turn, they are now homeless. In order to survive they must dig through dumpsters, beg, and steal. While living on the streets, Nichole struggles to understand why people treat them differently.

Heroin addicted Family's

Good telling of a topical heroin addicted family. Shows how our society is not doing enough to educate young people early on the pitfalls of drug involvement!

love for child

although in there addiction mom always had her child in mind looked out for her and showed genuine love to her daughter

The insight of the real challenges of day to day life of homelessness, especially for those with addictions.

Although the story portrayed loving, patient parents I didn't like their selfishness of wanting to keep their daughter with them for her to live in those unfit conditions for a child, especially when their were loving grandparents willing to provide a clean, safe and loving environment. As a survivor of mental, physical and sexual child abuse that my mom was most definitely aware of, I'm baffled by her selfishness by choosing not to protect her children because she valued her material possessions more than the safety and well-being of kids!!!

I feel like a lot of details were left out

I was happy that the child was always treated kindly by her parents and that she had other family members who cared about her. I don’t like the virtual voice narration as the story had many bloopers. This is a story that needed told with some emotion which we don’t get with a robot!

Strength of the girl

That was by far the worst reader ever. Expressing in wrong place; sometimes reading like a robot. Was this read by a robot
