5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing texts, 29 Aug 2002
By david lloyd (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I first read this book in the 1960s as an impressionable teenager. It sparked a social conscience and a desire to help make a difference. From the time I read it I was inspired to do voluntary work and to become a political activist. Sally Trench's
writing lit a flame in me and took me on a long personal journey.

The experience of the 1980s left me feeling disillusioned with politics and public service. Yet reading the book again at the beginning of a new century has inspired me again to want to make a difference. A timeless text , superbly eloquent and deeply committed to the cause of humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sally Trench,star of Simonwell, 18 Sep 2007
By Highlander "highlander1715" (Inverness,Scotland) - See all my reviews
When Sally came to Simonwell Farm at Street,in Kent,part of the three tier system the Simon Community has for recovering alcoholics and others, she sat beside me at the living room fireplace gazing into the fire.At once it was obvious seeing them together that she was Anton's (Anton Wallich Clifford) special concern being his fiancee at the time.I was what was classed as a Simon worker at the farm,working with and counselling the many people who whether residents,casual visitors or at points in the soup run came to us for help and got it. As such and in other places,other ways,I knew many of the characters,featured in Sally's book.Many of these became friends,some even became dangerous friends for though Sally' book has stories of these men and women sadly only a fraction of their stories can be told in these few pages.Still as a worker I was in all the places Sally writes about and worked ate ,eat and slept in the same house or shelter as many of them and was for a while until I left Simon a Shelter Leader myself in Exeter at Gabriel's Wharf.
I knew these men,some of them I was with at their beds until they died,saying through my tears a prayer for their souls.My reading then of Sally's book is a personal one,old faces come before me,old times nudge against me and I am always moved to read it yet and yet again .Cardboard City still exists in London," the poor... "as Jesus so wisely and so sadly said "are always with us" and Sally's book is a testimony to that and not only to her own grit and determination but to her compassion which I saw in great abundance.This is a book that sings about those who dare not,cannot yet sing for themselves in terms of a life worth living,it is a book to read read and read again and to think and to pray.I cannot too highly recommend it.
