On this episode of Our American Stories, before J.J. Jones became known in Oxford for building custom furniture, he was a father trying to survive without a home. He spent months living in a vehicle with his young daughter, taking whatever work he could find and doing his best to shield her from the reality of homelessness.

With the help of mentors who saw something in him and a faith that steadied him, he rebuilt his life and became the craftsman he is known as today.
