Описание книги

Eleven-year-old Lisa becomes her mother’s primary support when they face the prospect of homelessness. As Dee, a single mother, struggles with the demons of her own childhood of neglect and abuse, Lisa has to quickly assume the role of an adult in an attempt to keep some stability in their lives. “Dee and Tiny” ultimately become underground celebrities in San Francisco, squatting in storefronts and performing the “art of homelessness.” Their story, filled with black humor and incisive analysis, illuminates the roots of poverty, the criminalization of poor families, and their struggle for survival.

Отрывок из книги

“Something inside all of us will awaken when we read this book and bear witness to the excruciating plight of our generation’s poor. With unflinching courage Lisa Gray-Garcia brings the raw events of her childhood to the page. She decenters us with her searing images of destitution and blows us away with her resolve to beat it. We are not the same after reading this hellish tale of a young girl’s struggle to survive.”

— Yannick Murphy, author of Here They Come
