The first chapter is about this women (the main character) who sees her mom digging through a dumpster and feels guilty that she lives on Park Ave in New York while her mom is homeless. She contacts her mom insisting she helps her but her mom refusing and says she likes living this way.
The second chapter so far is a flashback to the main characters past ( I still don't know what her name is ). She was three years old, living in a trailer park, making her own hotdogs on the stove when her dress catches on fire. Her mom rushes her to the hospital but when her dad finds out he is not happy. He doesn't like hospitals so after a while he just steals his daughter from the hospital. In the middle of the night one night the dad says they have to leave right now so they pack up their things and hit the road. The main character claims this happens all the time because the bill collectors are on her dads case.
Thats all I've read so far and I like the book. I just hope it's as eventfull all the way till the end as it is at the beginning.
