Bury Me in My Boots

Résumé du livre

Sally Trench was twenty-one when she completed this book, which tells of four years spent mostly "on the road", among people who have rejected society, and those whom society has rejected - beats, vagrants, alcoholics and drug addicts. She spent her day around London's West End begging for money from passers-by to buy food for her "down and outs". At night she stayed among the vagrants on Waterloo Station, or shared a fire with the meths-drinkers. She is a Christian who believes in love in action; sitting with a "junkie" through agonizing days of withdrawal; holding the hand of a meths-drinker as he dies destitute and neglected on a bomb site; physically restraining a girl bent on a suicide; risking her own life to save a tramp from a burning building.
