About the author
THE UNKNOWN VETERAN
The Writer Who Chose to Listen
The Unknown Veteran didn’t set out to write a book about homelessness. She met The Unknown Veteran by chance. What followed was a deep friendship and a revelation.
Through years of correspondence and conversations, The Unknown Veteran began to see the raw, unfiltered truth behind the headlines. What began as two pen pals reconnecting evolved into one of the most powerful and personal accounts of systemic failure and human resilience in recent memory.
This is The Unknown Veteran’s way of holding the mic to someone who’s been talked over for far too long.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Living the Lam Life: This One Left Behind
The Unknown Veteran shares what happens when the system meant to protect you turns its back. Through years of personal stories, brutal truths, and unapologetic insights, she shares what it really means to survive in a world designed to forget you.
Written by The Unknown Veteran and shaped through years of friendship and testimony, this book captures a voice most of us never get to hear—and will never forget once we do.
Inside, you’ll uncover:
- What real homelessness looks like behind the media spin
- The twisted economics of California’s housing “solutions”
- The daily battle to remain human in a world that treats you like trash
- Why every one of us is closer than we think to the edge
Part exposé. Part survival guide. Part cry for justice.

- Wondered how a decorated veteran ends up living in a van
- Been told “help is available” when it never came
