Emma Snow has left everything familiar behind. Eight months earlier, she had lived in a lazy small Midwestern town, but her world changed after a dark secret was exposed. She has been thrown into a world where her wits must be sharp if she is to survive. Fearing for her life, she runs away. Under the cover of night, she stumbles five miles through a field to the police department in town to seek safety, and help. Safe but exhausted during the drive to what will be her next home, she feels a glimmer of hope that fate will be more kind to her. A new school, town and family, life seems to be looking up. She lets her guard down, and then the nightmare begins all over again. Escape, this time, means letting go of hope. She is on her on. She is leaving behind a dark dangerous world and is thrown into a terrifying new life. The Garbage Bag Girl is a story of hope, endurance, and srength, of finding one's pace in the world. It is about the resiliency of the human spirit that carries us through-taking over when we would give up. It is a story of love lost, and of love that finds us when most needed arriving in the most unexpected places and forms.
16-year-old Emma Snow is homeless again. Her hopes and dreams are crumpled into a garbage bag along with all her worldly possessions and material memories. She finally accepts that being part of a family-belonging somewhere-is not meant to be for her, and vows never to love or trust anyone ever again. Emma is invited to stay with a family in their country home on a hill nestled amongst corn and bean fields outside of New Point, a small town in the Midwest. It doesn't take long for her to realize that life in New Point is different from any place she has ever experienced. As Emma struggles to be a typical teen in an untypical town and situation, someone from her past reappears, threatening life in her new home as the people in the small town take her under their wing trying to heal her tattered heart. Senior year arrives and Emma scrambles to make the most of the last year of her childhood, joining the high school basketball team, pom-pom squad, and even meets her first true love. But as she lives the fantasy life of every teen, especially a foster teen, the memory of a past dream haunts her. One winter evening during the Christmas holiday, again the past collides with the present and Emma must make a decision that will impact life at her country home and her future. Rhodes' Home is a story about trust, love, hope, and faith...of new beginnings.
