Homeless to Hopkins by Christopher L. Smith
It’s always interesting when the title of the book gives away the ending. In Homeless to Hopkins, the name of the book makes it clear that Christopher L. Smith makes it out of homelessness and into the esteemed halls of John Hopkins Hospital as a medical doctor. Don’t let this stop you from reading the book, however.
Without giving away too much of the storyline (yes, even memoirs have storylines, the only difference is that it’s true), Dr. Smith starts out as homeless and living in his car, scrapes his way through college and medical school, and ends up working for John Hopkins, one of the top hospitals in the country.
My Thoughts on Homeless to Hopkins
Filled with details that make the book come alive, Smith describes his situation without pulling any punches. The book manages to be uplifting and inspirational, without the cheesiness that usually accompanies such stories. I recommend this memoir to anyone who needs a boost, enjoys reading about medical school, and wants to follow someone who went from nothing (literally) to something.
