Lisa Johnson

Postcards from Lonnie

How I Rediscovered My Brother on the Street Corner He Called Home

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It all started on Christmas Day 1993. Lisa and Lonnie were sitting on their mom's rickety yard swing, when Lisa's curiosity took over. She asked Lonnie questions about his life on the street, about being homeless. To her surprise, he answered honestly, humorously, and thoughtfully. That conversation continued throughout the next four years as Lisa wrote questions on postcards addressed to herself, then mailed them in packets to Lonnie at the flower shop on his corner. He wrote his answers and mailed them back. Lonnie answered a lot of questions and even asked a few, too. His detailed, matter-of-fact responses gave Lisa an unfettered view of a population living on the fringes of society and the issues they face every day. Postcards from Lonnie is a dialogue between Lonnie, who speaks through the postcards, and his sister, who not only learns a lot about her brother but also about herself. Intimate and revealing, this is a unique family memoir and a universal story of love, respect, family, and ultimately hope.

Autorenporträt

Doctor Lisa A. Johnson comes from a very close-knit family of four girls and no brothers. Lisa was one of the youngest and without a doubt the scariest of the sisters. This fact and their own love for sitting together to watch horror stories and challenge each other about who can be the most entertaining gave rise to this story. The family hopes you enjoy it as they all did.
