to live on the wind

to live on the wind, is the new memoir by Nanette Rayman Rivera. It is a memoir about the deepest loss – complete lack of a mother’s love; of desire and the way desire and any chance at what anyone would call normal in life, can be swindled and circumvented in such Machiavellian style, one can only wonder if the Fates are knowingly hurting lives. But above all it offers a first hand feeling—as if being in the thick of it—of homelessness and poverty that shouldn’t have been.
