Tracey Kidder, Pulitzer
prize-winning author of Mountains Beyond Mountains, is a master of nonfiction.
In his new book, Rough Sleepers, he tells the story of Dr. Jim O’Connell, a
gifted, compassionate doctor who cares for Boston’s chronically homeless men
and women. This book really opened my eyes to the complex reasons and
conditions for people experiencing homelessness for long periods of time. And,
like my book, it shows how one person can make a difference!

I was absolutely
blown away by O’Farrell’s earlier book, Hamnet! But would I love her new book
as much or would I be disappointed?
I loved The Marriage Portrait every bit as
much as Hamnet! O’Farrell has to be one of the best historical fiction writers
out there. Her books are immersive, captivating, and thought provoking. I love
the fact that both Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait tell the stories of strong
women taking fate into their own hands.
