I liked the characters in this story precisely because they were different. Much is said about diversity these days but in reality we have very little tolerance for people who are different than the TV images that create us. But sometimes necessity forces us into unlikely alliances and once we get close enough to know one another...really, we can begin to care. Hopefully this story will encourage readers to look more kindly on those living at the edges of our society and take the risk of knowing them.
