She is beautiful. She is smart. As a child, she was empathetic to a fault. When she saw anyone hurt, she would cry for them. She is an excellent chef. Her food is delicious and delightful to look at. She was introduced to the twelve steps of recovery at age 13 after a horrid overdose. Forty years later, she is homeless living on the streets. Her addiction and her mental illness has caused everyone in her world to get restraining orders: from her dad, her boyfriend, her grown children, and her grandchildren.
