I found this book so interesting in part because it takes place in my home state but also because I work in the criminal justice system and I see the effects of eviction first hand. It is a cycle of poverty. It seemed particularly relevant considering the timing following our recent election. I applaud the author, given that he actually lived in the field and work with real people who are truly struggling. This issue needs more attention, it is a cog in the wheel of this country's social problems. Where do we begin? Perhaps we begin by just recognizing the problem. Excellent work here.

This is one of the most important and eye opening books I have ever read. Even if you only read the epilogue, it is absolutely worth every second of your time.

Really important read that makes you check your own privilege.
Since this was written in 2016, I can only imagine what a new epilogue or update to this book since the publication date would look like. Especially with the impact of the pandemic on jobs and housing.
