This book is an incredible feat of journalism. The author follows the life of a new mother experiencing homelessness in New York City as she navigates the labyrinth of the system. It’s challenging and infuriating to read at times, but puts a lot into perspective about the wealth inequality in our nation and the impossibility of public assistance for so many people living in poverty. It’s an important read for anyone wanting to learn more about the homelessness crisis, or curious about engaging in this type of activism.
