Each year Congress passes a budget, allocating funds to federal programs to include housing and homelessness programs. The reality of homelessness is more complex than its definition. People experiencing homelessness are naturally on high alert and alter their behavior that affects their routine, making it hard for them to get out of homelessness. Often, people experiencing homelessness will undergo a number of life-changing emotions, including severe depression, anxiety, paranoia, and post-traumatic stress. The Hotel California is a homeless shelter. It isn't a resort that you need to have a reservation for, and there's one in every major city and rural county in our country. There are more chains of Hotel California than there are any major hotel or motel. This book describes a man's five-year struggle of living in that situation, on the treatment of guest who lived in the shelters, the discrimination against the homeless population to secure jobs, and the improprieties of funds abused by the people who run the shelters and transition homes. You can checkout anytime you like, but will you ever leave. This is my story!

In an intense, emotional mystery that spans a decade in the life of a small town, bestselling author Brian Freeman brings us an unforgettable heroine who discovers that the dead may sometimes be easier to rescue than the living. Deputy Shelby Lake was abandoned as a baby, saved by a stranger who found her in the freezing cold. Now, years later, a young boy is missing—and Shelby is the one who must rescue a child. The only evidence of what happened to ten-year-old Jeremiah Sloan is a bicycle left behind on a lonely road. After a desperate search fails to locate him, the close bonds of Shelby’s hometown begin to fray under the weight of accusations and suspicion. Everyone around her is keeping secrets. Her adoptive father, her best friend, her best friend’s young daughter—they all have something to hide. Even Shelby is concealing a mistake that could jeopardize her career and her future. Unearthing the lies of the people in Jeremiah’s life doesn’t get the police and the FBI any closer to finding him. As time passes and the case grows cold, Shelby worries that the mystery will stay buried forever under the deep, deep snow. But even the deepest snow melts in the spring. When a tantalizing clue finally comes to light, Shelby must confront the darkest lie of all. Exposing the truth about Jeremiah will leave no one’s life untouched—including her own.
