Book Description
Dramatic changes in life can happen at any time. She has lost her mother to cancer, and she's drifting along, alone, in a small town with little excitement in her life. Then she meets Eddie Weston, and everything changes-first for the better and then for the worst. Living with Eddie in a large city, her life takes an upward shift. But through an act of fate, hateful words, and an unforgivable act of betrayal, she finds herself alone again-only this time with no place to stay, no place to call home. She is nameless, and now lives with the downtrodden on the streets of Edmonton. Fortunately, she meets Mr. Taylor, a leader of sorts in the homeless community. She learns to get along with an odd cast of street people, from Hannah, a Goth teen who stomps around in beaten-up Dr. Martens, to Betty, an exotic, gypsy type, a caring person with a dark side. My Home Street Home is a powerful, eye-opening tale about how quickly a life can be forever altered, and the struggle to survive on the street.

Author: April Smith
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1101872373
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
From the widely praised author of the FBI Special Agent Ana Grey series and A Star for Mrs. Blake, this riveting epic drama follows the Kusek family from New York City to America's heartland, where they are caught up in the panic of McCarthyism, a smear campaign, a sensational trial, and, ultimately, murder. In the spring of 1950, Calvin and Betsy Kusek load their family in the station wagon and head west from New York City to relocate to a close-knit town in South Dakota. They settle on a ranch and begin a life in their new state. Betsy becomes a visiting nurse, befriending a quirky assortment of rural characters, and Cal jumps at the chance to serve his community when a seat opens up in the state legislature. Their children, Jo and Lance, grow up caring for animals and riding rodeo. But things change when Cal runs for the U.S. Senate. The FBI investigates Betsy, and a youthful dalliance with the Communist Party surfaces to haunt the Kuseks. Communist hysteria takes over their small town, inflamed by Cal’s political enemies. Driven by fear and hate, their neighbors turn on them. Decades later tragedy again strikes the family as the ghosts of their past come back to haunt them.

Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489731598
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
As a little girl, Yves Zoe Trieste’s first experiences were magical, opulent, and dazzling - living in one of Japan’s protected and exclusive enclaves reserved for Foreign Diplomats and their families. The change was sudden when the family boarded one of the last evacuation flights before the nuclear end of World War II. Returning to the United States, she becomes sucked into a quagmire of an unhappy marriage to an absent husband, divorce and custody of two boys and a girl, devastating dark family secrets, multigenerational sexual assault and incest, sex, drugs, rock and roll escapism, vapid partying, survival of eviscerating collisions, financial insecurity, unrelenting trauma, familiar plotting, shunning, greed, betrayal, and disinheritance. “Many dreams can be nightmares, too, so terrible are dark and forbidden secrets. Nightmares. Creepy. Frighting. Just like those crows that sit in those craggy trees, around our house, waiting, just waiting, claws gripped, ready to swoop down and scratch our eyes out. We all know, don’t we, that life is not a smooth ride with its’ twists and turns and strangles. We could get up and walk out when the curtain falls if it were a theater play. But not life. We have to stay until the end. There is no way out. And then what? And then what?” - Yves Zoe Trieste
