We’ve all been there. Well, most of us. That childhood dream of the most magical place on earth. We’ve all dreamed of seeing the sparkling castle in real life and hugging our favorite characters. But what happens when that childhood dream really signifies something much more—an escape, a rising above the ashes? And then it’s dashed against the rocks of uncertainty? Of poverty and hopelessness? In this engaging, reflective, emotional true story, Nathan Monk takes you through the real life journey of a hopeful father struggling to hold his family together in an intimidating world of poverty and homelessness. Villains and evil witches lie in wait, ready to prey on their victims, while supportive sidekicks and fairy godmothers save the day in this remarkable tale of a child who rose from living in parking lots to becoming a widely recognized advocate for the homeless. Written partially from his perspective as a child, Nathan ties these stories back to current issues of social justice and the need for reform in the way we address poverty in America. A perfect blend of fairytale and in-depth expose, you’re invited on an intimate journey with Nathan and his family as his father attempts to follow through with his mythical promise of unifying his family, righting wrongs of the past, fighting against a clock as it quickly approaches midnight, and Chasing the Mouse. Overflowing with passion, this touching, needed story will inspire you to reach for your own dreams, knowing that no matter the obstacles, no matter the risk, dreams really can come true … if you just believe.
Chasing the Mouse A Memoir About Childhood Homelessness eBook Nathan Monk
I started following Father Nathan Monk on Facebook because I am very interested in the subject of the homeless. This book was an eye opener. Although I volunteer with a mother and daughter non profit to help the homeless and their pets, I had never considered the long term ramifications of being chronically poor and homeless as a child. This is a rare glimpse in to the life of families that are continuously on the edge of losing their residence and how it affects the children later. Father Nathan Monk never goes overboard in blaming his parents, but is very gifted at showing those of us who were fortunate enough to never have to deal with this exactly what it was like for him. I would highly recommend this book to everyone. It should spark conversations about how we as a community and a nation need to step up and help families that teeter on the brink of being chronically homeless.Product details

Chasing the Mouse A Memoir About Childhood Homelessness eBook Nathan Monk Reviews
I've been a fan of Mr Monk's for quite a while. A page that I follow on Facebook once posted about all of the remarkable things he has done for the community (promoting equality, sheltering the homeless, and helping the community in general), and I had to start following his progress to see what extraordinary things he was going to do next.
Then one day, Mr Monk posted about his book, Chasing the Mouse. I contacted him and offered to help promote his story, so that people could become more informed with what steps he has taken in making the world a better place.
Chasing the Mouse tells the story of Nathan Monk, his childhood experience of being homeless, meeting his wife, and becoming a father (both literally and spiritually). Rebellion, love, life, family, broken promises, and creating lifelong memories are also key to this book, and he does a good job of letting that be known. Nathan is the narrator of the story, so each reader of Chasing the Mouse will receive a firsthand experience of the reality of growing up homeless. Now, he is not a professional author, and there are flaws that every book critic would just foam at the mouth to pick apart, but readers of this book must appreciate it for what it is. A man conveying his story in his own way, and telling the world what truly matters in life.
This book is a very powerful read. I enjoyed it very much, and I took a lot of meaningful aspects out of it, that I'm positive will come back to me throughout the years.
I will, and already have, recommended this book to friends, saying that there's a scene at the end that will nearly bring you to tears. (I know I came close!)
Now Nathan Monk spends most of his time with his family, and helps to take people off the streets and put them into homes, shelters, and communities. He does remarkable work, and if you follow his progress, I guarantee you will notice the impact he is making on the world.
Thank you, Nathan, for telling us your story. It was a beautiful one.
Just finished reading, had to stop several times to settle my emotions, very powerful.
Makes a difference in perception.
Father Nathan brought a pretty fresh perspective to growing up homeless (or home insecure). It made me rethink my own experience. It's a worthwhile read.
I started following Father Monk and his wife on Facebook. They are both an inspiration. I bought his book and read it in one day. His story is very touching and shows where the passion he has comes from.
I follow Fr Monk on Facebook and bought this book at his urging, hoping to spread his story and his mission. I finished it in one sitting, which I rarely do.
This book is excellent, and a must read. I don’t want to give any spoilers; read the book description of you want to know what it’s about. The version was very frustrating to read, as the formatting is way off. Fix that, and the book is 5 stars.
