Streetlife is a collection of stories that focuses on, and vividly reveals the harsh realities of life on the streets in America. It shows the edges of those streets and how we can easily fall through the cracks in the so-called ""free-market"" Capitalist system to end up there with little more than one unfortunate circumstance.
