In the future, you can be imprisoned for being poor. Meet Jackie and Antone and their two children, living on a ranch in Texas doing what they can to survive. Unfortunately, the powers that be have other plans.Billie Sue Mosiman has created a bleak society bent on ridding North America of the poor, homeless, petty thieves and the like, a society allowed to decay into a dark void of humanity. Told in such a way, the depth of characters and the feel of love shines through on every page. Reminded me of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Brilliant tale. This is a story that will leave you thinking long afterwards........
