Acknowledgments
My sincere gratitude to John Sciarrino for bringing the magic of photography to life for me and making sure I had it right.
And my thanks to the people who took the time to write about the homeless so that I could see what their lives were like, even if a little.

Prologue

Three years earlier:
The sky blackened, making the wind gust wickedly through the palm trees. Not exactly the Hawaii one pictured, but Adrian Wilde was on a roll, quite literally. Supermodel Ellie Marlow held her long hair out of her face, frowning at the camera.
Adrian tilted his head. ''Come on, Ellie. Just a few more shots." He lifted his hands to the roiling clouds above. "Can't you feel the excitement in the air, the danger? It's perfect."
"It's insane! We're going to be electrocuted."
As if the sorceress had summoned it, lightning cracked across the clouds, puncturing the blackness with wicked fingers. A second later thunder shattered the air.
"Just two more shots and we're out of here," he called over the wind. "And let go of the hair. Please," he added with a smile.
After a pause, she let her brown hair whip across her face, walking toward him with a jaunty cant, her finger in her mouth.
"Perfect, Ellie. This is going to be the shot of a lifetime."
For a second, the hairs on his body shot to attention. The air tingled. In a single flash of light and a loud crash, he was knocked backward. Vibrations charged through his body. He could hear Ellie scream, but he couldn't move or speak. Darkness swirled around him, as if those spikes of light had pulled him right up into that black mass.
