I went into this book thinking it would discuss a very real social problem in today's world, but I was very disappointed. It read more like fiction instead of a memoir and really didn't get into depth about homelessness. For a woman in her mid-twenties to have had this much stuff happen to her just amazes me. I'm still shaking my head. There are so many contradictions that it makes it hard to believe. She is obviously a person with a very dark attitude and paranoia beyond belief. She uses herself as a whipping board (and she allows others to do the same) since she feels everyone blames her for everything that goes wrong in her life, and theirs.

People would say that she is not really homeless since she lives in an old RV. A lot of people in this country live in RV's, living very comfortably and don't consider themselves homeless. The thing is, she parks the RV in WalMart parking lot so she has no utility hookup. This might have worked best for her in the beginning, but she does have resources and some money. And for all the money she spends on airfare, one would think she would have enough money to rent a space in an RV park.

While the story is a curiosity and people would want to read it to satisfy that curiosity, I would not really recommend it to my friends.
