Not Quite Home -- Temple Lentz, Paperback

Claire, wealthy and recently widowed, is adrift. She has access to tools to make a real difference but can't figure out where to apply them. Erica, a young outreach worker to the homeless, has grown so cynical about the broken system that she's breaking rules herself-and for that, she's about to get fired. One day, Erica finds Claire giving away gourmet sandwiches and twenty-dollar bills at a homeless encampment, and yanks her out of there with a lecture about systemic problems and feel-good solutions. Their conflict soon becomes a partnership, and they craft a plan to help ten unhoused women get off the streets and build a community of their own. Together, they navigate nasty neighbors and difficult politicians. And just when it seems like they're going to pull it off, a shadow from one woman's past jeopardizes the entire project.
