She’s not just a random homeless girl. Lorelei is street smart, elusive and manipulative. She’s a survivor, always on the move. Always one step ahead of the danger in her past. Emily’s a hard-partying bartender in downtown Austin with problems of her own. When she meets a handsome reporter looking for a photographer, Emily volunteers her camera skills. As she follows him into the sordid world of gutter punks, Emily finds an unexpected friendship that will redefine her life.
But Emily realizes too late that each of her attempts to help only puts her new friend in ever increasing peril. Can she unravel the mystery of Lorelei’s past and find a way to protect her? Or would the girl be better off unknown and on her own? Anonymity is a gritty, harrowing account of young people who live life on the edge when all they really want is a safe place to call home.

I enjoyed this book in a way that I enjoy learning about other cultures and people.I didn't like that the story is told through so many perspectives. Honestly, I didn't care about most of the characters. The normal ones are largely boring and one sided. I was interested in Lorelei and her story, and that of the street kids'. Somehow, though, the book ended up being about normal people living normal lives while the street kids were sort of off in the background, often judged as liars and addicts even by the people trying to help them.
The plot is unclear so take it as a story about life. Just life.
All in all, it could have been better but I also enjoyed it enough to read it all the way through.

Anonymity edition by Janna McMahan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Thoughtful insight and wonderful development of characters. Her insight into the world of homelessness was a real eye-opener. Such a difficult subject to weave into an entertaining subject matter that also inspires is impressive. She pulls it off with ease!
Besides bringing a wonderful story with an intriguing plot, those that read her book will be reminded of how grateful those of us with loving parents should be.
Janna McMahan has become a favorite author of this avid reader! I will be first in line to purchase her next book.
Thank you, Janna!!
As a side note - I am also impressed that a portion of the book sales are going to help teens in this difficult situation! )
Not only does she bring homelessness to light, but helps do something about it! Thank you!
To say this book was a favorite of mine is wrong. To say I could not put it down because it was riveting would be right. It handles homelessness and mental illness with such a reality that Janna McMahan either has had a personal experience with someone or has done an amazing job on her research. She brings the homeless, transient culture to life and put faces on the unloved and often the unlovable. It is written from the perspective of several different people which helps you understand all sides of the problem. This book made me ask myself several questions about what my responsibility is, am I doing enough, am I one who finds it easier to step aside and ignore the problem? This book is about keeping hope alive and homeless survivors. This book is expertly written and the subject matter is compelling. That is why I gave it 5 stars.
A poignant look into a very sad, every day occurrence of far too many homeless youth. Truly a learning experience. Ms Mc Mahan knows her subject well and did a fantastic job pulling this book together.
A depressing subject for sure, but well written and unfolds into a touching read for all. The non-homeless caring main character vs the fragile homeless teenager. A no win situation but again presented with eyes wide open. The seasoned care takers of the homeless know the ropes and just do the best they can without expectations. The inexperienced, who just come upon the situation have a harder rode to hoe.
If you care about the world we truly live in, take the time to read this. Open your eyes, at the home front we are the solution, one kid at a time. Not all can be saved, however some might not ever get there, it's up to us to try, lesson learned. Thank you Ms Mc Mahan!
This is a beautifully written narrative that I found very insightful and educational. The author obviously did extensive research and she raises many important societal questions. The characters were compelling and I loved that the ending was realistic. While you got some happy ending satisfaction from one story line the other leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions.
This book was difficult for me to get into initially. Partially because of the way it was written and partially because the characters did not have a lot of redeeming qualities. Emily, while compassionate, was basically a sexually promiscuous young adult with no ambition in life and poor boundaries, her mother and father had communication issues, and Lorelei was a moody, homeless teenager with mental health issues. By the end, Emily found a connection with a guy she prematurely slept with, her parents decided to start a business together and reconnect, and Lorelei was able to see her parents before she decides to run away and skip town once again. I felt as if the stories were rushed and the ending that was produced was too neat, tidy, an unrealistic. The book is good however, at making the reader aware of the homeless culture and giving insight into this unfortunate situation. The book has lots of potential, but I wouldn't recommend it the way that it is.
Anonymity is Janna McMahan's best work yet. The characters are masterfully developed as McMahan takes the reader inside the heads of homeless youth. She takes the reader out of the comfort zone of our warm safe homes into the humanity of real lives on the street. She tests our understanding with incredible descriptions such as "...the double blades of thirst and hunger had long ago carved caution from her empty hull" and "how could anyone who grew up in a loving family ever understand the level of rejection experienced by a child whose mother repeatedly told him he was '...just an abortion that couldn't get paid for'." And Lorelei verbalizes what it feels like to be bi-polar like I've never before read. The story is extremely well written and begs for discussion throughout all of our communities on the very timely issues of homelessness, mental illness and children abandoned to the streets who have aged out of foster care. Anonymity is a profound and compelling read. I highly recommend it!
