Once a happily married businessman, an avid golfer, and the proud owner of several luxury cars and three boats, conservative-minded Richard LeMieux saw his fortune change almost overnight. In this now classic memoir that has touched thousands of readers across the globe, LeMieux describes his descent into homelessness and his struggle to survive personal and economic disaster. Evicted from his home in 2002 and living with his dog, Willow, in a beat-up old van, LeMieux finds himself penniless and estranged from his family and friends.

Amazing insight
Revisado: 09-17-15
What made the experience of listening to Breakfast at Sally's the most enjoyable?
While the story itself was captivating and held my interest, the narration by Dick Hill was outstanding, and made this book so enjoyable as an audible. The many different voices he gave to the many characters was delightful, and made me feel like I was really there.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I left this story with a whole different view of homelessness than I started with, and a much better understanding of homeless people and their many different situations. It made me both laugh and cry.
Any additional comments?
This book was so well done, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great read that will truly impact their lives.

Harper Lee’s Pulitzer prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep south - and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred, available now for the first time as a digital audiobook. One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than 40 languages, sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the 20th century by librarians across the country.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book on a long road trip. Wanted to hear this one before starting "Go Set A Watchman", on our trip home. This one was well done and kept my rapt attention for the whole book.

After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash.

Delightful story

Narration was delightful to hear. Author's words were so dramatic that we could see the events in living color in our minds. Highly recommend.
