Author Sarah Smarsh spent years volunteering at a soup kitchen, serving sandwiches to those in need. With each sandwich she handed out, she got to know the stories behind the faces of the homeless. Fifty Sandwiches is a collection of these stories, each one a testament to the humanity and dignity of those who have lost everything.

Through Smarsh's vivid prose, we meet people like:

• Amy, a woman who lost her job and her home after a divorce. She's now living in her car with her two children.

• Mike, a veteran who suffers from PTSD. He's been homeless for years and struggles with addiction.

• Lisa, a young woman who ran away from home to escape abuse. She's now living on the streets and trying to find her way.

These are just a few of the many people whose stories Smarsh shares. Each story is heartbreaking in its own way, but it also offers a glimpse of hope. Despite the challenges they face, the homeless people in Fifty Sandwiches are resilient and determined to survive.

Fifty Sandwiches is a powerful and moving book that will change the way you think about homelessness. It's a book that will make you angry, sad, and hopeful all at the same time. But most importantly, it's a book that will remind you of the humanity of those who have lost everything.

If you're looking for a book that will challenge you, inspire you, and make you more compassionate, then Fifty Sandwiches is the book for you.
