Chicken Soup For The Woman's Soul - Plot & Excerpts
We are not rich by what we possess but rather by what we can do without. Immanuel Kant Sandy lives in an apartment so small that when she comes home from shopping at Goodwill, she has to decide what to move out to make room for her purchases. She struggles day-to-day to feed and clothe herself and her four-year-old daughter on money from freelance writing and odd jobs. Her ex-husband has long since disappeared down some unknown highway, probably never to be heard from again. As often as not, her car decides it needs a day off and refuses to budge. That means bicycling (weather permitting), walking or bumming a ride from friends. The things most Americans consider essential for survival— a television, microwave, boom box and high-priced sneakers—are far down Sandy’s list of “maybe someday” items. Nutritious food, warm clothing, an efficiency apartment, student loan payments, books for her daughter, absolutely necessary medical care and an occasional movie matinee eat up what little cash there is to go around.
