Sharon Rodrigues highlights and exposes the homeless problem in affluent American suburbs by photographing and interviewing displaced individuals in her hometown of Olathe, Kansas, a wealthy suburb of Kansas City. This riveting book includes hand-written essays by Rodriguez which recount the stories told by her subjects. This two year project began as part of Rodriguez’ ongoing artistic interest in marginalized communities and has been featured as part of the Johnson County Library sequence Bear Witness which explores art as activism. Her exhibition was entitled Shining the Light on the Homeless of Johnson County. This book is the culmination of that gallery exhibit.
