2. Writer a 20-30 year old male
3. Basic plot: He leaves his home with 25 dollars moves to a different city, lives in a shelter ..... the theme is basically you can accomplish anything if you work hard enough

I'm gonna buy this book if I can find it to go along with "Nickle and Dimed" book by Barbara Eige.... (I'm really bad with remembering names :sad
