Synopsis

Suzanne Field ignores slumped shapes huddled against downtown buildings. She pretends not to see homeless panhandlers waving signs at busy intersections.Then, in her own neighborhood, she meets Reba—a homeless woman, fearful, and unstable, who sleeps beside the road. In spite of her poverty, Reba is generous, artistic, and persevering. She claims to “see beauty in everything.”This diary account records a poignant and unlikely friendship between suburban comfortand homeless deprivation.“Thank you, thank you,” Reba says, bouncing in her child-like way. “Thank you for not being afraid of me.”What does Reba want more than anything? “A home,” she says. What is her definition of home? “I could put up sheets for walls. But I need a roof. I got so wet in the rain last night.”Suzanne knows their interaction will be temporary. It’s a matter of time until someone tells Reba to move along. Soon she will slowly push away her two old strollers bearing bulging plastic bags stuffed with all she owns. Perhaps this time evil will not follow.Reba gives a glimpse into life on the street. Diarist Suzanne Field shows what happens when a heart opens to compassion.
