An intriguing narrator presents a creative look at the most unsung heroines of all: homeless women. Here, they are portrayed through engaging, edgy, and accessible poetry. The result is eye-opening, absorbing and unforgettable.\u003cbr\u003e Marcy Heidish, author of many books on heroines (A Woman Called Moses, etc) worked as a volunteer with homeless women for almost twenty years. She knows her subject--and knows how to deepen your understanding of the shadowy women in urban streets and shelters. Without romanticizing the homeless or depressing the reader, A Misplaced Woman penetrates material that is tough and, at times, tender. This book is a tour-de-force that may change the way you see yourself and your world.\u003cbr\u003e * * *\u003cbr\u003e Ms. Heidish holds a B.A. With Honors from Vassar College and an M.A. With Distinction from The American University.
