A unique residence and America's crisis of care
The Author of “Red Clocks” returns with the story of the residents of The House—brainchild of a middle aged former punk rocker and addict who opens her family home to elderly and disabled residents and younger residents who work around the house but live-in rent free. It’s always teetering on the edge—not enough money, not enough help. The balance is thrown off when a pair of runaways take refuge at the House. This book deals head on with America’s crisis of care at all levels, as well as the strength and weakness of found family, with a wide range of three-dimensional characters trapped in a system that doesn’t really work for anyone. It’s both powerful and thought-provoking.
