This book talks about the growing numbers of people in America who have been priced out of their homes and end up living on the road out of their cars or in RVs, not by choice, but by financial necessity. Bruder got to know the community and follows several people throughout the book, and shares about how they find migrant work and how they navigate living on the road. It was really interesting to learn about this group of people, but I honestly wasn't super enthralled by it. I feel like this didn't need to be a full-length book--maybe a super long essay for the New Yorker or something. But it was definitely well-researched and well-done.
