A Hawkeye Reads thematic book talk, led by Sociology Instructor, Adrian Andrews. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, an estimated 3 in 5 college students experience housing insecurity [pdf]. Main character April Sawicki lacks the family support that many take for granted. Consequently, she leaves her father and the only home she's ever known, a motorless motorhome, at the age of sixteen. Choosing loneliness and homelessness over the environment she was born into, she takes her chances alone.
