About this ebook
THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER
For eleven years, Danielle Steel took to the streets with a small team to help the homeless of San Francisco.
She worked under cover of darkness distributing food, clothing, bedding, tools, and toiletries to the city’s most vulnerable citizens. She sought no publicity for her efforts and remained anonymous throughout. Now she has chosen to tell her story to bring attention to their plight.
In this unflinchingly honest and deeply moving memoir, the famously private author speaks out publicly for the first time about her work among the most desperate members of society. She offers achingly acute portraits of the people she met along the way—and issues a heartfelt call for more effective action to aid this vast, deprived population. Determined to supply the homeless with the basic necessities to keep them alive, she ends up giving them something far more powerful: a voice.
By turns candid and inspirational, Danielle Steel’s A Gift of Hope is a true act of advocacy and love.

How heart rendering was this book to read. And how magnanimous of her to to do what she did to help the holmness. How can any government turn a blind eye to there plight. They call themselves ghosts for that is what they are there for the grace of god. I will never look away again when I see someone who needs help.
