"A fast moving series of events with an unexpected twist - definitely a page turner!""Couldn't put it down, could hardly wait to get to the end.""An enjoyable, fast paced, story in which seeing those who seem invisible reveals more than expected" Young journalist Sam Shaw is driven by a chance to put right the injustice she sees all around her in one of the wealthiest cities in the world. When she hears that young homeless people are being targeted by thieves, she persuades her editor to let her investigate.Pretending to be homeless, Sam soon realises that reality is not for the fainthearted and is both grateful and curious when a teenager helps her out. Her snooping sets off warning bells for the young girl, and Sam finds out how easy it would be to fail her first test.Stories told in the dark, tears hidden from view, the life of a homeless teenager is nothing like Sam had imagined and her desire for a by-line fades as the danger on the street grows.

Are you tripping over carpet that's peeling away from the floor?Are handles missing from your cupboards or drawers?Are there iffy smells when you open your pantry?Can you remember what color the bathroom grout used to be?Has the wallpaper been hanging around too long?Are you thinking about selling your house?Are you thinking about decluttering?Would you love to have your beautiful house back to its pristine condition?30 DAYS is all it will take if you follow the instructions in this book. THE 30 DAYS DON'T HAVE TO BE CONSECUTIVE, OR IN ANY ORDER; that just may not be realistic.In the Northern Hemisphere we're looking forward to Spring (at time of writing it's 2021 and we desperately need something to look forward to!), when we traditionally give our houses a good 'spring clean'. You can use this book to help with a plan for this too.I've moved to a new house more times than I can remember, but it was while I lived in New Zealand that my organizational powers were really tested. We'd found a house we wanted to buy but had to sell ours first. A house we'd lived in for more than 10 years, and we had three weeks to get it ready to sell. The second time was more stressful, even traumatic. My husband and I had parted, and I had to get the house ready for sale on my own.The only way I managed either time was by having a list of things to do each and every day. That list led to the birth of this book. The steps work equally well if you want to declutter and reclaim your spaces. You will begin by seeing your house as others (especially buyers) see it and you then move systematically through each room and onto the outside where I ask you to think about everything from your gutters to your garden to your heating/cooling systems. The only thing you will need in abundance is elbow grease (i.e. strenuous physical exertion).So, block out 30 days (they don't have to be consecutive unless you're in a hurry), because you're going to be entirely focused on getting your old house ready to become a new house.Each day has a To-Do List so you can jot down what you need to do and mark complete when done. So satisfying!
