Recently, KJ Dell’Antonia and I interviewed Lauren Sandler about her wonderful book, This is All I Got: A New Mother’s Search for Home, for an upcoming episode of the #AmWriting podcast.

This is All I Got is the story of a young woman named Camilla. She’s single, Dominican, homeless, and the mother of a new infant. She’s also savvy, resourceful, and determined to get herself and her child out of a shelter and in to a real home. I don’t think it will come as a surprise when I reveal that not much goes well for Camilla over the year Lauren spent with her.

During our podcast interview, Lauren said someone asked her what she does with her rage and grief and she replied, “My only motor is rage and grief.” Lauren writes about the hard stuff because she believes telling stories like Camilla’s is important. Stories change policy, and policy change can mean the difference between a childhood spent in a shelter and a childhood in a home of one’s own.

I deal with my rage and grief by giving away great books, so enter below to win a copy of Lauren Sandler’s This is All I Got: A New Mother’s Search for Home.
