The Soloist by Steve Lopez
On the inner city streets of Los Angeles, you wouldn’t expect to find much inside of the homeless community besides dirty, begging people asking for change and any help they can get.
But this wasn’t the case for one encounter that author Steven Lopez had. Steven has stumbled upon a man named Nathaniel Ayers. He for sure was homeless, but he offered a gift that many people anywhere in the world didn’t have. This homeless African American man was a violin prodigy, playing on the streets looking for any tips he could have received. But no one seemed to stop and see just how much raw talent Nathaniel had. This is where Steve Lopez came into play.
