Without a Net: Middle Class and Homeless with Kids in America by Michelle Kennedy

3.0

In the prologue the author writes, "I had no idea that if I had just walked my agnostic self into a church I could have received help." Yep! I work for a church and can attest -- we love to help individuals/families get back on their feet. We don't expect anything in return. We help because maybe when a person experiences grace they'll be more open to reaching out to God.

This book is about an educated, middle-class woman with three kids who ends up living out of her car for several months. It's a story about slowly trying to build up enough money to rent an apartment, and the challenges one faces in that transitional period. Interesting and quick read.
