Contact: Melanie Brooks at (207) 581-1700
ORONO — After years of researching, writing, and volunteering in homeless shelters, Pat LaMarche decided to go on a 14-day trip to 14 homeless shelters across America. The result is a series of vignettes that bring each shelter and its residents to life encompassed in the book, “Left Out in America: The State of Homelessness in the United States.”
LaMarche will lead a discussion about the book at the University Bookstore on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 4:30 p.m.
A business manager, journalist, educator, author, broadcaster and, most recently, a freelance writer and consultant, LaMarche graduated from John Bapst High School in Bangor and earned bachelor’s degree at Boston College. She was the Green Party’s vice-presidential nominee in 2004 and she ran for governor of Maine in 2006.
