Clean Sweep: A Novel

When a sidewalk is no place like home...

Retirement was supposed to bring her time to paint. Instead, she would find a purpose.

Carli Morris is ready for her next chapter. Selling her Madison Avenue ad agency for billions, the self-assured career woman pursues her love of art and spends her spare hours volunteering. But her comfortable confidence turns to horror when a routine food delivery to a homeless encampment leads her to discover one of its residents dead and her two dogs orphaned.

With the heartbreaking incident reopening the wounds of Carli’s tragic past, she makes it her mission to find the lost soul’s family and re-home her canine companions. And the deeper the former marketing genius gets involved as an outreach worker, the more she is convinced that the answer to her family’s own sorrow lies on these very streets.

As she learns to truly see human beings she had previously treated as invisible, will Carli at last find her own peace?

With beautiful prose and an unflinching eye, E.B. Lee delivers a powerful and uplifting tale of unexpected service and unforeseen redemption. Peeling back the grimy curtain concealing the dark consequences of societal cruelty and personal indifference, she reminds us that everyone deserves shelter, sustenance, and most importantly, love.

Clean Sweep is a moving work of literary fiction. If you like strong women, elegant writing, and journeys of self-discovery, you’ll adore E.B. Lee’s unforgettable story.
