This never started out to be a love story, and it's not. Well not a traditional love story, anyway. Sometimes a story evolves in ways the author never imagined! So it is with Effie Lyons who describes herself as an unremarkable woman with an unremarkable life - well, with the exception of that time when she was three and she was 'sold' for a silver teapot!
But yes, unremarkable in her beige hair, beige skirt, beige shoes, and white shirt, she could be, well, invisible. But invisible is an asset in her occupation and has contributed to her gainful employment for the past three decades, in a life that is simply, well, ordinary. Yes, unremarkable is an apt description - until the unexpected happens and her life is turned upside down in a single day. Because when faced with a crisis, sometimes the most unremarkable people can find their strength, the one they didn't know they had. And their ingenuity. And their voice.
Nobody ever plans to become homeless. It can start as a simple misstep that turns into landslide. It wasn't even HER misstep.
