Book Description
The Man in the Dog Park offers the reader a rare window into homeless life. Spurred by a personal relationship with a homeless man who became her co-author, Cathy A. Small takes a compelling look at what it means and what it takes to be homeless. Interviews and encounters with dozens of homeless people lead us into a world that most have never seen. We travel as an intimate observer into the places that many homeless frequent, including a community shelter, a day labor agency, a panhandling corner, a pawn shop, and a HUD housing office. Through these personal stories, we witness the obstacles that homeless people face, and the ingenuity it takes to negotiate life without a home. The Man in the Dog Park points to the ways that our own cultural assumptions and blind spots are complicit in US homelessness and contribute to the degree of suffering that homeless people face. At the same time, Small, Kordosky and Moore show us how our own sense of connection and compassion can bring us into touch with the actions that will lessen homelessness and bring greater humanity to the experience of those who remain homeless. The raw emotion of The Man in the Dog Park will forever change your appreciation for, and understanding of, the homeless life so many deal with outside of the limelight of contemporary society.

Book Description
Jordan Marsh is experiencing several of life's problems when he meets a kind, yet mysterious, elderly gentleman, named Nick, in a park. They discuss many topics, but find a common bond talking sports. A fast friendship develops with Nick cleverly helping Jordan work through his issues. As that friendship is developing, Jordan begins a romantic relationship with his dying father's hospice nurse, Mary. Shortly thereafter, Mary must deal with a problem of her own, which potentially threatens to derail her blossoming relationship with Jordan. Nick hooks Jordan's interest with a promise to share the details of three intriguing basketball games from 1971 that Nick was instrumental in facilitating. As their friendship deepens, Jordan begins to realize that Nick has a somewhat shadowy past, but Nick only shares enough information about himself at each of their meetings to further entice Jordan, who wants to write a book about Nick's life. In the end, Jordan learns the rest of Nick's life story to include several plot twists and surprises.
