This is not quite what I expected. I read the synopsis but I wasn’t expecting this story. It’s a story about homelessness and poverty. Lucy, a once successful advocate for people who are down and out, is now down and out herself. She’s sleeping on the streets eating out of dumpsters and trying to keep a low profile and stay out of jail. Her experience in Guatemala as a missionary has enlightened her on the evils that capitalism causes in third world countries. She rails against disparity and capitalism but usually does so inappropriately so is often in trouble. She makes friends on the streets, some former recipients of her social work These friend work together and help each other out even though they have little to nothing.. Judith, a lawyer, agrees to hold Lucy’s stuff in her basement while Lucy gets her act together. Lucy abuses her trust by spending time in Judith’s basement and eventually brings other squatters in. Judith has her own issues and they must work out their differences. This is an eye opening account about the ravages of poverty and disparity and our need to acknowledge and advocate for those less fortunate than ourselves. I did not really enjoy this but it was well written and is a thought provoking topic for today’s society to address. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an arc in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.… (mer)
