God was this good and impactful. Just a really clear look at how poverty looks in this godforsaken country, and how you can't "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" if the system is set up to make sure that you can't move forward. And Ms. Land didn't even have systemic racism working against her! Just. incredible and so important.

I found the story itself interesting and often insightful—especially in regards to class and reality of relying on government assistance in the US; however, I often found the prose lackluster and the events chronologically confusing.
