Chronicle Supposing Books Breakfast at Sally's: One Homeless Man's Inspirational Journey

One day, Richard LeMieux had a happy marriage, a palatial home, and took $40,000 Greek vacations. The next, he was living out of a van with only his dog, Willow, for company. This astonishingly frank memoir tells the story of one man's resilience in the face of economic disaster. Penniless, a failed suicide, estranged from his family, and living "the vehicular lifestyle" in Washington state, LeMieux chronicles his journey from the Salvation Army kitchens to his days with "C"—a philosopher in a homeless man's clothing—to his run-ins with Pastor Bob and other characters he meets on the streets. Along the way, he finds time to haunt public libraries and discover his desire to write.

LeMieux's quiet determination and his almost pious willingness to live with his situation are only a part of this politically and socially charged memoir. The real story of an all-too-common American condition, this is a heartfelt and stirring read.

Commentary Of Books Breakfast at Sally's: One Homeless Man's Inspirational Journey

Such a beautiful storyI saw this book on Amazon and decided to purchase. This story was so beautiful and heartfelt, I found myself actually shedding tears on the train as I read it. Richard's story could be anyone's story. Most people live paycheck to paycheck now, and most of America is a whisper away from being homeless and losing everything. Richard Le Mieux,s story touched me so deeply, I now have empathy and understanding for the homeless. Not all are addicts, or alcoholics. And if they

I give my book groups May selection, Breakfast at Sallys, a 1 star. It did encourage compassion for homeless people but it offered the wrong answers and dragged me through too much crud. It is very sad that the world is so unfair, that some people struggle with such difficult circumstances, addictions and bad habits but the hero, C, is covetous, ungrateful, slothful and misguided. I was insulted by his misunderstanding of Christ. Christ did encourage care for the less fortunate, but he had very

I really enjoyed Richard LeMieux's book except for the last chapter--because that meant the book was coming to the end. He is, however, working on a second book about a woman he met while homeless.We all think we know what it means to be homeless or think we know why people are homeless. Read this book. I think we can all learn something from it.I don't like being cold, wet, or chilled. What determination to go on it takes to be in that condition endlessly. Putting myself in Richard's place was

As a person living in Bremerton, WA I found this to be an extremely interesting book as the author lives here. It is well written by a homeless person who lived with his dog Willow in his car for over a year after loosing his lucrative business. His battle with depression is an issue that is frequently overlooked and not understood by many who cast the homeless aside as being lazy and not worthy of assistance. The generosity of the poor to give to each other is a memorable part of his saga as

this book made me very mad at first. There were some true sad tearjerker moments, but the whole book felt false. Not hearing Richards complete story made it not ring true for me, Jagged little pieces. I do believe that giving people dignity is the only way to save them, but they don't want to play by the rules.The biggest biggest bunch of pcky in this book is C. i'm assuming he is a totally made up character, and illiteration of Christ. A drug dealer that preforms miricles and has the cash or

This book shook me up. And I know why. If you've ever worked on the behalf of someone who was close to losing it all, and who would be out on the street if not for the efforts of a few family members, you realize what the existence of a homeless person could be like. Richard LeMieux lost it all, and came perilously close to ending his life. Thankfully, with the help of angels like his friend "C" and women who gave him all the money they had in their purses, he kept putting one foot in front of

I was overwhelmed with emotion through this entire book. If someone asked me what book I would recommend for reading, this would be the one. I live in Tacoma, which is about 45 minutes from Bremerton and I know Tacoma has a huge homeless population and of course Seattle does too. I did not know Bremerton did too. Richard LeMieux puts faces to the homeless and words into their mouths. It is a heartbreaking story. But the fact that he has written this book and he and the book are truly making a
