| ROOFLESS is a non-fiction book by Stewart Harvey, and is a series of real-life accounts and interviews given by people who have faced the brutal realities of homelessness at some point in their lives. Compiled by the charity First Stop Darlington, the true identities of the protagonists are kept secret, but their stories always make for difficult and bleak reading. Documenting both the successes and failures of people who attempt to make a life for themselves while battling homelessness, Roofless is a disturbing reality check for people who may often turn a blind eye to this ever-increasing issue. "...Harrowing and calling out for change, Roofless serves as a reminder that anyone can be homeless, especially in times of economic uncertainty and welfare cut-backs..." |

|
"Overall, the stories within Roofless are powerful to read and it makes you reflect on the complexity of homelessness in the UK. Although at times challenging, it does leave you with the sense that, with the right support in place, some of the outcomes could have been different and the road to recovery is possible." -- Mike Findlay
