Nancy Henson's addiction did not cause her to be homeless, but it did keep her homeless for three and a half years. She was angry and unmotivated to do anything to help herself. She eventually got involved with another alcoholic who was just as unmotivated as she was. Surviving Homelessness and Addiction is a story of hopelessness, depression, addiction, and motivation to change where Henson's life was going to turn it into a story of hope.
