Description: In the tunnels below Grand Central Terminal, the author - homeless and drug addicted over the course of eleven years - found a pencil to run through his crack pipe. One day he used it to write. This is a book rich with small acts of kindness, humour and even heroism alongside the expected violence and desperation of life on the streets.
