"It's a feeling," she said. "I don't know how to put it, exactly. It's a feeling that my world could collapse. Just fall down all around me. Sort of like the cartoon character who's run out over the cliff and his legs are still pumping, but he's only standing on air and he's about to fall a long, long way down. Don't know how I've done as much as I have, and I don't know how long I can keep it up. I ascribe my success to the grace of God, but I'm still left with this feeling that it could all be taken away."

I picked up the book because I was taking a workshop with the author. By the end of the first chapter, I was wishing I'd read it as soon as it came out. It tells the story of a piece of Portland, Oregon that had been pushed to the periphery before I arrived, though I feel the effects. It's a weight that shows up when I speak to families who have been here for decades. It's a tip of the head when I talk about how expensive rents have gotten even in the last five years, as if I know what I'm talking about.
