Georgie's Pride Robert Alan Mason

It's not women's fiction, but it has a woman protagonist. It's not dystopian, but the homeless figure prominently. Think Dickens in the 21st century. Georgie's Pride is a turn of the century tale of social class and social clash, and lines that aren't supposed to be crossed. Who are "we", and who are "they"? In the economic give-and-take, who are the givers and who are the takers?Georgie is a young, suburban, working mother with a mini-van, running through her conventional daily life on auto-pilot. It's a comfortable routine until Fate interferes to force an evolution (or devolution?) in Georgie and awaken her dormant intellect. She becomes entangled in secrets and machinations literally from the street to the Statehouse.
