June Papers is a college-educated homeless young man working (when he can) as a substitute teacher in NYC. Sounds pretty grim. Doesn't it? Well, think again. Traveling with June through his days is fun, funny, and especially uplifting. He loves the city, his family on Martha's Vineyard, the kids he teaches, his friends, journaling, and basketball. His heart is definitely in the right place and you find yourself routing for him to make it, until you realize he already has. (
