Homeless by Choice: A Memoir of Love, Hate, and Forgiveness is the powerful true story of Roy Juarez, Jr., who went from being a homeless teenager to becoming a nationally recognized speaker, activist, and voice for at-risk youth across the country.
At just 14 years old, Roy was forced into homelessness due to domestic violence. With nothing but a duffle bag to his name, he spent years moving from place to place—struggling to survive. Against all odds, he found his way to college, vowing to never return to the life he had escaped. But one dream changed everything.
Driven by a calling to give back, Roy made a life-altering decision: to return to the streets—this time by choice—to launch a national tour and inspire youth to pursue their education, their dreams, and their worth.
This gripping memoir follows Roy’s physical and emotional journey as he uncovers the hidden challenges that plague young people across America. Along the way, he is forced to confront the pain of his past, the truths he tried to outrun, and the healing power of love, faith, and forgiveness.
More than a memoir, Homeless by Choice is a movement—a call to action for compassion, understanding, and hope.
Perfect for: teens, adults, educators, youth advocates, mentors, and anyone seeking a story of survival, purpose, and radical transformation.
