Book Review of Without a Net : Middle Class and Homeless (with Kids) in America

Without a Net : Middle Class and Homeless (with Kids) in America
Helpful Score: 2


Honestly, I had a hard time feeling sympathy for Michelle. She claims in the title that she was "without a net", but I believe that she had plenty of support systems that she could have utilized before letting her pride allow her to become homeless. She both begins and ends the story as a middle-class housewife, and it seems as though her homeless experience was more of a "who knew? It could happen to anyone!" experience rather than an educational one.
