I slept in the lions den, an autobiography

*I slept in the lions den, an autobiography...Rose is from Virginia and explains that when she first moved to Los Angeles and saw skid row, "it seemed surreal.""It moved my spirit and never left me.Rios, 70, runs Cover the Homeless Ministry from her home, and, save some financial support from a local church and City Councilman Curren Price, alone. She doesn't get paid, and her mission is to shepherd the neediest cases through the byzantine social services system and get them into housing. She's been doing this on her own for more than two decades.Along with the food and clothing giveaways, the heart of the organization remains the volunteers — some of whom have been with Rose since the beginning nearly a decade ago. Before they begin, though, Rose calls for everyone's attention and they begin to pray. The homeless are lining up waiting, and once the prayer is over, they stream past as gospel music plays.Blue/yellow glossy paper Cover has some wear, pages clean has some Bl/wh Photos in rear not perfect just good...
