Horizon Homeless
New Edition Coming Soon
See how a series of unanticipated setbacks can lead an entire, upstanding family, unexpectedly, into the darkened world of opioid addiction.
There are millions of people across this great land of ours that are pre-homeless. Bob and Tracey Slider and their son, Jake are a composite of so many American families that cover our land from ‘sea to shining sea’. They are among the millions of unnoticed, hardworking Americans, locked into survival mode while trying their best to do the “right thing” every day. What happens when they are confronted with circumstances which place them on a road heading downward where the horizon up ahead turns homeless? Can they make the turn and begin heading uphill? What choices will they make? What will determine their success or failure?
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matt: 11:28
