You made me cry!! That's a heck of a scene near the end there. And you really earned it. Thank you for something warm about people trying to do well. I need that.

If I may ask, what neighborhood did you imagine them living in in San Francisco? I lived in the Castro and then the Mission around when Jamie was born.

Errata: I know an enby Ro who is Ro's approximate age, though very different (less econ. more circus arts)

@ohmu Thank you for giving my weird book a shot! <3

I am especially glad the ending worked for you...

I think I pictured Serena, Mae and Jamie living in the Haight or Inner Sunset. Or maybe Richmond. It was the 2000s, a moment where rents actually came down in SF somewhat, and I think they could afford a decent-ish place in one of those hoods.
