Plot

In A Recipe of Hope, the popular misconception that most homeless are uneducated, mentally ill or addicted to drugs is challenged by true, diverse stories of struggle and defeat, victory and love. Collected from among the men and women of Inspiration Corporation, an organization dedicated to helping the homeless back to self-sufficiency while restoring their dignity and self-respect, these first-person accounts show how homeless can affect and afflict everyone, and they reveal the complex humanity behind this often "faceless" problem.
