"Homeless With God" is a timely and necessary story of Joshua Robinson, who undergoes a myriad of mental health treatments only to fall deeply into addiction and homelessness. They end up on the streets of Skid Row Los Angeles, barely staying alive as they face hunger, thirst, and a deepening mental illness that threatens to take their very life.

"Homeless With God" is a harrowing, yet ultimately hopeful, story chronicling Joshua's descent into homelessness and mental illness on the streets of Los Angeles. Facing down potential death, Joshua, a queer, non-binary, and bipolar adult had somehow landed in an experience that would come close to taking their very life. This memoir is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the possibility of redemption, even in the darkest of times. "We need more stories of survival, of falling down and what it is to peel oneself back up. This is the hero's journey. What Robinson is traveling toward is less important than the adventure (amidst all its harshness and devastation). This is a book that builds empathy towards those who have fallen (as we all have) and what it is to keep going. "Homeless with God" is a powerful representation of one human's experience being homeless and queer and a poet and so alive in a world that tries to kill us." -Aimee Herman, Pushcart Prize Nominee "The spirituality in the book never proselytizes, it is often quirky or mystic, it is told as one of the facts of the narrative which gives extra heart to the book." -Eden Heffron-Hanson, OutFront Colorado
