The Door Is Open is a compassionate, reflective, and informative memoir about three-and-a-half years spent volunteering at a skid row drop-in centre in Vancouver’s downtown eastside. In an area most renowned for its shocking social ills, and the notorious distinction of holding the country’s &quote;very poorest forward sortation area of all 7,000 postal prefixes,&quote; Bart Campbell dismantles our hard-held notions about poverty, the disenfranchised, substance abuse, and the nature of charity.
The Door Is Open is one man’s story of a transformative journey into the complicated and complex world of poverty.
