This poem/story/work of fiction is a must read for anyone that thought poerty is hard to read or too hard to understand. The simple language, yet strong prose makes this book a delightful, magical read. You'll fall in love with Janet and Liz and Phil and Ed...not to mention the books protagonist, John! <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/107966?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
