VOICES: A Place Called Home: A Memoir by David Ambroz

VOICES, the Redeemer speaker series, serves the broad community of Baltimore by inviting contemporary voices to challenge and inform us: artists and authors, visionaries and thought leaders… advocates of change courageous enough to hold the loveliness and sorrow of the world at once, and find the wonder in both.

A Place Called Home: A Memoir by David Ambroz.  The author will join us on Wednesday, October 19 at 7:00 p.m. Free and open to the public.

“A Place Called Home presents an unflinching, frank examination of the realities of being a child without a home and being surrounded by a fundamentally flawed system where neither child nor parent have enough help, or the right help, to break the cycle of poverty. Ambroz’s story is a frightening example of how easily inadequate procedures and policies traumatize lives each and every day. The heart of this first memoir is both a raw account of Ambroz’s journey to adulthood and a powerful, uncompromising call to action for significant change.” (Booklist)

For readers (and writers) interested in memoir, for teenagers, parents and grandparents, for teachers and social workers, for child advocates and anyone committed to the well-being of young people, an evening with David Ambroz will be time well spent.
