It took Sally Ooms roughly four years to amass the 50-plus interviews recorded in Finding a Home: How Americans Prevail.
Her new book offers an eye into the world of Katrina survivors, immigrants, single parents, veterans, the homeless, and others who have grappled with dire circumstances.
Ooms will read from her book at 7 p.m. today at Prairie Lights, 15 S. Dubuque St. Admission is free.
Kathleen Johnson of Prairie Lights said the bookstore likes to host authors who have written new books on relevant current events.
“People are talking a lot about homelessness, and we were delighted when we were offered the opportunity to have [Ooms] come to read,” Johnson said.
The stories are told by Americans from across 10 states as well as the District of Columbia, all of whom challenge the idea of what a home can be.
