There Is No Place For Us plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed. Through intimate, novelistic portraits, Goldstone follows parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. Each family aspires to provide a decent life for their children, and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation's working homeless.

By turns heartbreaking and urgent, There Is No Place for Us illuminates the true magnitude, causes and consequences of the new American homelessness, and provides hope in the form of these families' love for each other and their resilience in the face of huge challenges.
