Win with The Girl’s Guide to Homelessness

(http://www.beautyandlace.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/THE-GIRLS-GUIDE-TO-HOMELESSNESS-Cover.jpg)


Brianna Karp entered the workforce at age ten, supporting her single mother and sister right through her teens in South California. Although her young life was scarred by violence and abuse, Brianna stayed focused on her dream of a steady job and a home to call her own. At age twenty-two her dream became a reality.

Brianna loved her job as an executive assistant and signed the lease on a tiny cottage near the beach. Then the GFC hit. Brianna, like millions of others, lost her job. In the six months between being laid off and living on the street, Brianna scrambled for temp work and filed hundreds of job applications to no avail.

When she inherits a thirty-foot travel trailer after her father’s suicide, Brianna parks it in a Walmart parking lot and begins to blog about her search for work and a normal life. Her journey begins with terror and shame. But her fears turn to awe as she connects with other homeless people around the world, whose remarkable stories inspire her to become an activist for the global homeless community.

Deeply compassionate and darkly funny, this unforgettable memoir celebrates the courage and creativity of people ostracized by society.

We have 5 copies of the book to give away valued at $29.99 each.
