Dimitri House Stories

When you walk down the street and see someone who's homeless, that's a life, that's a story. -Fran Morse, Author, Dimitri House Director 1997-2015 Welcome to Dimitri House Stories: twenty-one short but unforgettable and ultimately hopeful stories of homeless people in Rochester, New York. After nearly twenty-five years of service, Dimitri House Director Fran Morse goes beyond compassionate witness to show us another side to those men and women she served. PRAISE FOR DIMITRI HOUSE STORIES "These tenderly-wrought vignettes make visible those we've trained ourselves not to see, residents of our city staggering under the weight of illness, addiction, and multiple losses... not only their troubles, but their delights-the magic of a thorn-apple tree, a spray of lilacs set into the hair, the joy of a homeless shelter transformed into a wedding chapel...a tribute to lives as textured and rich as our own." -Sonja Livingston, author of Ghostbread and selected author of Writers & Books 2016 'If All of Rochester Read the Same Book...'
