The author takes his title from the Salvation Army where he eats and meets a host of other characters who are in much the same condition as he is.

The author was a successful businessman who was a victim of changing economic times.  Living with his Willow the Wonder Dog in an old van, he types out his stories and others on an old typewriter he found in a garbage dumpster.

The stories are gripping as the characters, despite their weaknesses, come across as good human beings who are worth saving.

The arrival of this book could and should help with the problem of homelessness as the country faces an economic downturn.  This book should be read by every caring adult who could say, "Except for the grace of God, there go I."  This is an important book.
