We often see people living on the street, but rarely do we stop to ask how they got there or what their lives are truly like.
In I Am Human Too, author Sarah Murphree confronted that silence as a college student. Motivated by personal experiences within her own family, she sets out to understand the real causes of homelessness, beyond the stereotypes. Partnering with Knoxville's leading street paper, she spends two years interviewing individuals living without shelter, listening to their stories with compassion, consistency, and care.
The result is a compelling portrait of fourteen people whose lives defy assumptions. These stories reveal not only hardship, but humor, resilience, and depth. Backed by thoughtful research and grounded observation, I Am Human Too challenges readers to rethink what it means to help and to see the person before the circumstance.
I Am Human Too is not a book about homelessness. It's a book about humanity.
