In Rough Sleepers, embark on a profound journey through the streets of Boston, where one compassionate physician, Dr. Jim O'Connell, dedicates his life to providing medical care and dignity to the homeless. Through intimate storytelling and powerful personal reflections, the author takes listeners deep into the world of homelessness—an often misunderstood and overlooked issue—exploring its emotional, psychological, and societal impact.
 
As the author chronicles Dr. O'Connell’s work, you’ll hear the stories of the men and women who live on the streets, battling not just poverty but a system that often ignores their suffering. This audiobook reveals how the lack of healthcare, mental health support, and affordable housing leaves people stranded in a cycle of hopelessness—and the profound power of compassionate care and human connection in transforming lives.
