Description

WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS SAYING ABOUT HOME STREET HOME - THE VIRGINIA BEACH CHRONICLES... I just finished reading the book today! I could not put it down - it was WONDERFUL! I felt like I was there with everyone & everything as it took place. It gave me different insights to things I could not imagine going on. I cried at the end; when you were talking about Little Bear as I knew who you were really talking about." ----- Alice Dagenhardt of "Hope in the Upper Room", Virginia Beach "...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. *See the link below to Dr. Ruehlmann's complete review of Home Street Home - The Virginia Beach Chronicles in the August 29, 2011 "Sunday Break" section of the Virginia Pilot. "She provides an authentic picture from what I know of homelessness on the streets. Her story puts a human face on the whole issue of homelessness."----- Jeffrey Andrews, retired Maring Corps major and president of Hope in the Upper Room, a non-profit devoted to giving the homeless a "hand up", not a "hand out". "The book is realistic. It's not amatuerish, 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 a work of literary fiction set in the homeless community of the Oceanfront in Virginia Beach. Based on hard facts, it is the reader's ticket for a virtual journey into a parallel universe that is increasingly easy for any of us to fall into these days.
