This book was an awesome read! It details how, unbeknownst to an upper-middle class woman, her home is being shared by another woman who is experiencing homelessness. 
Juno, the woman experiencing homelessness, is living in a park across the street from Winnie and her small family. Juno is accidentally trapped in Winnie’s house and before she can escape, she overhears a conversation between Winnie and her husband that exposes Winnie’s deepest secret. Juno is terminally ill and has made it her final mission to expose Winnie’s sin before she succumbs to Lupus.
