The Night Always Comes by Willy Vlautin
4.0

Lynette works two legal job and one questionable enterprise to come up with money for a down payment. Lynette, her mother, and developmentally delayed brother are being squeezed out of their home and neighborhood in a gentrifying Portland. Their absent landlord has agreed to sell them their run down house, and this is the dark, depressing story of how Lynette tries to come up with the money needed for the down payment.
