Street Logic is a work of fiction based on true stories
of extreme cases of homelessness in America. Author Steve Sundberg, a
twenty-five year veteran of human services, five of those years working as a
street outreach worker on the streets of Boston, writes of his experiences in
Street Logic to create awareness and
solutions.
Street Logic is a front-lines resource for university
students, particularly in the social sciences, and for socially-awake persons
who want to know the truth about America's efforts to help those on the streets
of our cities.
Street Logic was written as a novel for all readers of
literature who appreciate books that both inform as well as entertain.
"The (straight) answer to any fool who says you
can't use 'fiction' to tell the truth. Proof that before you can pass it on,
you have to pass through it. A beautiful tightrope walk over a true hell on
earth ... a tightrope you can't walk with your eyes closed."

"The most closely observed,
emotionally charged account of American homelessness I know. This
portrait of the men and women who live on the streets of Boston in all seasons
and despite the best efforts of outreach workers to help them will leave any
thoughtful reader wondering both why we let this happen and how we could stop
it from happening."
