"The book reads like a novel... But it has the engagement ring of fact, and an uplifting communication that endures." (The New York Times) Once a happily married businessman, an avid golfer, and the proud owner of several luxury autos and three motorboats, conservative-minded Richard LeMieux observed his fortune change almost overnight. Within this now common memoir that has touched thousands of visitors throughout the world, LeMieux describes his descent into homelessness and his struggle to make it through personal and financial disaster. Evicted from his home in 2002 and coping with his dog, Willow, in a beat-up old van, LeMieux confirms himself penniless and estranged from his relatives and buddies. He dines at the Salvation Military (Sally's), tries suicide, and is also treated at a mental medical center, where he's diagnosed with unhappiness. Writing over a secondhand manual typewriter, first at a picnic table in a open public area, and then wherever he is able to, LeMieux describes his odyssey and the quirky, diverse, and endearing cast of personas found one of the homeless folks of Bremerton, Washington, and by extension, all over else. Breakfast time at Sally's is a uncommon inside look at how the other America lives, and how one man, beaten down and only, could reconnect, to find good people, and, eventually, using their help, to persevere. Updated with an all-new section, interviews with the writer, a book club guide, and an obituary for Willow.
