RaveLos Angeles Review of BooksReads like horror. Not the blood-and-guts kind, but like a fever dream of never-ending bureaucracy with systems that are fated to fail no matter how hard a working mother tries to house her children ... The depth of Goldstone’s reporting makes the characters feel close-up ... Joyful scenes also repeatedly take on an eerie quality as we wait for the other shoe to drop ... The most fascinating aspect of Goldstone’s reporting is his focus on the extended stay hotel industry ... Goldstone isn’t just writing to write; he’s using immersive journalism to humanize a segment of our population who have been rendered invisible ... Goldstone is challenging how we have historically defined and stereotyped homelessness in our country, who gets counted, who gets left out, and why.
