"Daniel Black's novel . . . dramatizes the trials and tribulations of a group of homeless outcasts who push beyond their failings to form a family." —Jeffery Renard Allen, author of Fat Time and Other Stories In Listen to the Lambs by Daniel Black, nothing can convince Lazarus Love III to return to the lifestyle of affluence and social status he once knew. Longing for a freedom of the soul that the world of capitalism cannot provide, Lazarus leaves all that he knows—including his wife and children—to achieve the ultimate level of peace and silence living as a homeless man. When his quest causes him to cross paths with four other wanderers, all of whom later call themselves "the family," a shocking, brutal act leaves Lazarus in a dire position and his newfound family must struggle to save him. By doing so, both families—past and present—are redeemed and consequently learn the beauty of sacrificial love.

Black is a treasure—a beautiful writer who loves his characters and his people." —Tayari Jones, New York Times– bestselling author of An American Marriage "In Listen to the Lambs , Daniel Black creates a family out of people who are ostracized by society. It is a dark, funny, beautifully written, and heartfelt story about the homeless that is a must read." —Sanderia Faye, author of Mourner's Bench
