Bag om No Address

No Address, written by New York Times bestselling author Ken Abraham, is a novel based on the soon-to-be-released theatrical film starring William Baldwin, Ashanti, Xander Berkeley, Lucas Jade Zumann, and Ty Pennington. It vividly portrays how homelessness can happen to anyone.Lauren's favorite childhood pastime was capturing special moments with her loving mother on her Polaroid camera. Then, at nine years old, Lauren's life is dramatically altered when she witnesses the tragic and unexpected death of her mother, sending her into the foster care system. After many lonely years, Lauren graduates from high school. As she proudly walks home with her high school diploma, she finds her belongings from her foster care home stuffed into trash bags and left outside the front door. Unsure of where to go, she falls asleep on the doorstep, awakening to the harsh reality that she has no address. Navigating the merciless streets, she soon meets Jimmy, a kind-hearted runaway. Jimmy teaches Lauren survival skills he has grown accustomed to after escaping his father's violent abuse. He introduces her to an unconventional family forged on the streets: Harris, a gifted painter and battle-scarred veteran; Dora, a once-glimmering actress now battling her mind; and Violet, also a Veteran fighting her own wars with addiction. Harris champions his street family to get their lives back as they are constantly warding off a harassing gang, unforgiving community, and local authorities. Robert, a once-successful businessman in the throes of financial ruin due to his gambling addiction, is desperate to take back the land the street family lives on for a prosperous development project. Soon Robert's family will have to face the reality of his own financial nightmare and may even need help from those he once despised. No Address offers hope, humanity, and resilience as these characters navigate the stormy challenges of life with no physical address. It vividly portrays that homelessness could happen to anyone. Inspired by true events, this film is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the transformative power of community.
