This is her first novel, written because she felt compelled to bring the subject to the public in a fresh way that sidesteps the world's tendency to pigeonhole the homeless as the “other” people. Her heroine, Ella, is every one of us - fallen from the middle class into a world that should not even exist, but, most unfortunately, is terribly real.Georgia lives in Denver now, where she is adding sequels to the Home Street Home Series to include the present-day economic downturn and its effects on those who are forced to survive on the streets by any means necessary. Blondie returns to the Boulder/Denver area to apply her experience to helping the newcomers to the street. Ella will become troubled by the increased homelessness in Boston and the North Shore, including the iconic Gloucester. It's happening all over the country and all over the world. No one is immune to falling into its nightmarish clutches.view less
