The story takes place in 1994 at the beginning of the baseball strike and baseball reporter Kate Henry has no games to cover.She is at home in Toronto contemplating the strike.She and two teenage friends share some concern for an apparently homeless woman,Maggie, who lives in an alley near their apartment. Their is some racial unrest in Toronto since the shooting of a black man by the police...This is a well written,well plotted and fascinating study of the homeless,the difficulties of policework, and the affects of trauma on relationships. A very enjoyable read with an active, intelligent, and capable heroine.The other characters are believable and fun.
