"Quimby’s prose reads so true,
it breaks the heart."
–Booklist
Not So Far from Home brings a deeply personal perspective on how relieving homelessness is a moral responsibility and community-building opportunity for the well-housed. Charlie Quimby reveals how society's keepers of the keys devise solutions to homelessness that leave poor people at the margins, without the natural interactions and healthy relationships that strengthen community life.

“An inspiring and necessary read for anyone seeking
to build stronger, more equitable communities.”
– Roslyn Harmon, Mayor of Golden Valley, Minnesota
​
From the author of Monument Road and Inhabited:
"[Monument Road] is a book of confessions and connections, fear,
forgiveness and, ultimately, the stirrings of redemption."
– High Country News
"The lives of Inhabited's finely drawn characters interweave to
produce a panorama as wide and full of light as the near-desert setting."
– Starred Review, Publishers Weekly
