I super love this concept for a book. It reminds me so much of photographer, Stacey Kranitz who documented the poor people of Appalachia in photos. Stunning work.
Michelle, I grew up in a little clapboard rental until I was 8. When my mom moved us to Santa Fe, so she could attend school, our family spent the next several years in an old 8’-wide trailer in a large, crowded trailer park, there. I have also lived in other trailer parks at different times in my life. They were interesting and, like little towns, each have their own unique personalities. I will confess, I hope I never have to live in another trailer, though. You’re a writer… and your first chapter really pulled me in. Please look for my email (I’m not as poor as I once was, but I’m trying to live on about $17k a year… call me thrifty or tight, they’re both accurate).
As I grew up poor and have lived poor at times in my life, I look forward to reading about your characters to see any parallels to my life or people I know. I have ordered the paperback as I am not a fan of digital books.

I'm going to grab a copy of your book!
My hope is that people will feel entertained and enlightened.

I'm reading it now and it's hard to put down. I feel for the characters, even Nancy.
Nancy is horrible but I feel bad for her. I’ve known a lot of Nancy
Just pre-ordered!
Thank you!
I’m looking forward to this book! Will it be available on Apple Books or other platforms?
It’s on amazon for now.

I look forward to hearing from some readers who have lived in poverty. There are a lot of "types" of poverty in the book.
