"Moore also holds the serious alongside the hilarious, and the clarity and intelligence of her prose illuminates both. Original, funny, and brilliant, this book outmaneuvers, outshines, and will outlive so many memoirs that seek to cover the same tenuous ground."
–Kerri Arsenault, Orion Magazine"Moore infuses this memoir with keenly researched insights about the historical forces that created Detroit's (and America's) housing crisis, creating a heartfelt, funny, thought-provoking meditation on the multifaceted fallacy of the American Dream." –Booklist (starred review)
"Eye-opening . . . A unique, lovely meditation on the power of community." –Kirkus Reviews
"Incisive . . . A trenchant meditation on how communities come together, and the forces that drive them apart." –Publishers Weekly
"Both comedic and fierce . . . Moore's experiences will draw in readers interested in an intimate perspective on housing issues or life in recent Detroit. She provides thoughtful perspective on community, capitalism, and making art in difficult times." –Library Journal
