Barely thirty, Lynette is exhausted. Saddled with bad credit and juggling multiple jobs, some illegally, she's been diligently working to buy the house she lives in with her mother and developmentally disabled brother Kenny. Portland's housing prices have nearly quadrupled in fifteen years, and the owner is giving them a good deal. Lynette knows it's their last best chance to own their own homeâand obtain the security they've never had. While she has enough for the down payment, she needs her mother to cover the rest of the asking price. But a week before they're set to sign the loan papers, her mother gets cold feet and reneges on her promise, pushing Lynette to her limits to find the money they need. Set over two days and two nights, The Night Always Comes follows Lynette's frantic searchâan odyssey of hope and anguish that will bring her face to face with greedy rich men and ambitious hustlers, those benefiting and those left behind by a city in the throes of a transformative boom. As her desperation builds and her pleas for help go unanswered, Lynette makes a dangerous choice that sets her on a precarious, frenzied spiral. In trying to save her family's future, she is plunged into the darkness of her past, and forced to confront the reality of her life. A heart wrenching portrait of a woman hungry for security and a home in a rapidly changing city, The Night Always Comes raises the difficult questions we are often too afraid to ask ourselves: What is the price of gentrification, and how far are we really prepared to go to achieve the American Dream? Is the American dream even attainable for those living at the edges? Or for too many of us, is it only a hollow promise? 541 $d 20210430. 655 7 $a Fiction. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. 655 $a Mystery. 655 7 $a Literature. 655 7 $a Electronic audiobooks. 700 $a Lakin, Christine. 710 $a OverDrive, Inc., $e distributor. 856 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=89&titleID=5808885 $3 null 856 $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=300f3583-86c0-4eb2-ad0e-05d59276217a&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $3 Excerpt 856 $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0293-1/%7B300F3583-86C0-4EB2-AD0E-05D59276217A%7DImg100.jpg $3 Image 856 $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0293-1/%7B300F3583-86C0-4EB2-AD0E-05D59276217A%7DImg200.jpg $3 Thumbnail 941 $a 1 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20210702012930.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=99C5FB6ADAFE11EB9BE3539D58ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
