“Few journalists write about those forced to the margins with the grace, compassion, and humility of Nikita Stewart.”
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter, The New York Times Magazine
“Uplifting. . . .Stewart adroitly captures the girls’ growth as they develop confidence but also… underscores the traumas, stress, and challenges experienced by thousands of homeless Americans.”
“Stewart doesn’t shy away from the harsh and often invisible realities of homelessness. . . Readers will be moved by the resilience of. . .all of the girls and women who come alive on the page.”
“Featuring a sensitive treatment of a still-existing homelessness epidemic, this is an impassioned look at how Troop 6000 inspired others to form in its wake. A tale of how grassroots spirit and gritty determination can bloom into hope.”
