Description
The winner of 3 book awards as best book in it's category, Bent Hope was born out of Tim Huff's first twenty years of unique and extensive work among homeless and street-involved youth and adults, in one of North America's largest urban centres-Toronto, Canada. Bent Hope is a collection of thoughtful narratives birthed beneath crumbling bridges and in the hidden alcoves of darkened alleyways after midnight. These gripping true-life stories surface quietly from unforgiving corridors of fear, hurt and uncertainty-and unexpectedly and supernaturally transform them into fascinating places of intimacy and godly anticipation.
