The attraction is strong, but romance takes second place as both women have ethical reasons why they cannot get involved. It neatly intertwines with the romance element as Colby finds herself drawn to the CEO of the local homeless shelter. The plot is interesting and keeps the story moving along as Colby gets closer to the answers. Sing Song, another of the homeless Colby meets, is amusing and yet full of pathos with her obvious knowledge of surviving at any cost. The roles men take in a gang are used to good effect and the quirks and personalities add color to the story.
The Vet’s are drawn with an observant eye and keen understanding. Colby’s newness to her role, and the abruptness of her insertion, make this an emotionally raw experience. Life on the streets is brought to into stark relief with her constant movement to avoid the police, staying below the radar, searching for food and shelter, and yet also having to be continually wary of the men who were once her comrades. We feel Colby’s isolation, her fear and hunger through a well-written narrative. Powell draws the Vet’s with compassion and realism - she has a keen eye for the unpleasant behaviors of a pack of men.
Instantly we have a whole heap of issues around homelessness, invisibility and drugs.
