<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Sometimes there really is good government. For 40 years as a government or not-for-profit official, Bonnie Stone tackled homelessness and substance abuse in NYC as her absorbing book, Gimme Shelter, relates-with a cast of characters as colorful and various as Gotham itself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Now and then, there really is good government. </em>Bonnie Stone spent 40 years in New York City-and social services-oriented not-for-profits. She doggedly and ingeniously tackled some of New York's most urgent issues, particularly chronic homelessness. Undaunted, Stone negotiated choppy waters, working with the expert, the difficult, the skeptical, the next-to-impossible, the determined, and the inspired. </p><p><br></p><p><em>Gimme Shelter </em>has a cast of characters as colorful and varied as the city itself. There are big stories of apparently insurmountable odds, surmounted-and smaller stories of people who with dedicated help were able to beat terrible odds. At a time when government is viewed as ineffective or even as a saboteur of people's best interests, <em>Gimme Shelter </em>reveals how the men and women who work for the City of New York can bring positive change to the lives of its citizens.</p>
