Take a journey into the horrific world of the homeless. There are places where human beings who live outside the graces of normal society regress to a more primitive governance that echoes back to the dawn of humanity's bloody history. Ella has entered this world where the law of the street rules. Her story is becoming too familiar in this era of economic downturn. Almost anyone could find themselves tripping into Ella's unwanted new path. "Stephen King has nothing over Georgia Saunders, and the horrors Ms. Saunders writes about within Home Street Home aren't figments of the imagination. Yes, the title is a work of fiction - a very fine one at that - but one gets the feeling real experience lurks within the author's words." ~ John Zunski, author of Shangri-La Trailer Park "...a uniformly rugged but redemptive novel about life among the homeless in Hampton Roads." ----- Bill Ruehlmann, professor emeritus of journalism/communications at Virginia Wesleyan College and book columnist for the Virginia Pilot. "Georgia Saunders has shown us the face of the homeless, and it is our face." ~ Ginny Sorrell of Virginia Beach "The author did not butter these realities up; she shows human nature in its raw form. In the process, the reader will be forced to acknowledge these realities." ~ Nancy Cudis, Goodreads Review "Home Street Home is truly thought provoking and insightful. Ella could be anyone: your next-door neighbor, the person in line behind you at the grocery store, or even yourself." ~ Karen Toz, Goodreads review "The book is realistic. It's not amateurish, nor does it seek sympathy. There is definitely a market for this." ~ Anne Meek, board secretary for the Cultural Alliance of Greater Hampton Roads "Home Street Home is one of those novels that makes your mind explode, but in a good way. Georgia Saunders does an incredible job with this compelling read. I've never read anything like it! I highly recommend this novel to everyone! Whether you love horror or romance, this book has a message for everyone. Get ready to have your eyes opened." ~ Vanessa Booke, Goodreads review
