Of Exiles and Saints Jill Stephenson

What does it mean to be exiled in America? As young aspirants, a group of friends arrived in the city. Idealistic, talented, industrious, they transformed the urban landscape. Now the very ethos that made their city unique has attracted a new breed. New money, a new ethic, their community is under siege. Threatened by real estate moguls, chain stores and technology entrepreneurs, the friends are faced with expulsion from a marketplace that no longer requires their services. Of Exiles and Saints is a modern morality tale of the price we pay for progress and the cost it exacts from our humanity.
