Strangers at My Door by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
4.0
This was a very fast read despite the topic - a white, college-educated couple moves to a rough neighborhood in Durham, NC and open a hospitality house. I felt the story was honest enough about showing the author's foibles, yet was upbeat without being sanctimonious.
However, there is so much more I want to know. How do he and his family make money? How does he deal with the fact that possible criminals are living in the house with his kids? I wanted more of the troubles described. It seemed a bit too easy in the book, which I am sure it is not. Mostly, I want to know how he deals with his faith and keeps going with this endeavor when I am sure he faces all sorts of trials and doubts.
