The Good Samaritan

Vith Homsombath

We often think of heroes living among us as firefighters, police officers, or any American soldier. But how about a homeless person? This is a heartwarming story of a homeless man named George who wants to devote his life to help others. He was born to upper-middle class parents in a wealthy neighborhood. When he was seven, his parents died in a head-on collision with a drunk driver, so he was placed with foster families where he endured sexual and physical abuse, until he ran away at age 12. George sees helping people as a way to honor his parents' memories. The story is contemporary and takes place in a metropolis. This is the first of a series of books on this story. Readers are invited to experience hardship, the human spirit, unselfishness, humor, friendship, and love through the unforgettable experiences of an extraordinary homeless man.
