About this ebook
Walter Davis is young, handsome, intelligent, dynamic and personable. The product of a bi-racial marriage but abandoned by his father as a young child, he prides himself on three things: his drive to succeed, his fine clothes and never having been late for anything in his life. Walter is also homeless. The medical expenses that came with his mother's brief and unsuccessful battle against cancer have left him destitute. Still, ever the optimist, Walter believes that if he lives in his car for a few months, he will have the time he needs to find a good job in the business world and turn his life around. His situation gets more complicated when he finds himself attracted to a girl he meets at the mailing center where he keeps a post box. But trying to impress a girl when you have no fixed address proves difficult, and when he's caught in a lie, she shuns his company. Walter's struggles grow when his car is impounded and he can't afford to pay the fine. Only resilience, ingenuity and his drive to succeed can bring Walter back from the brink of despair.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5After his mom dies of cancer Walter Davis is homeless and living in his car. He just graduated from community college with a degree in business but he is still jobless. He is handsome and ambitious and he scores a date with the pretty Yolanda at the post office where he picks up his mail and uses the computers. After a very successful date, Walter’s car is towed and his situation goes from bad to worse when he loses his cash and can’t get his car back. He is too embarrassed to tell his troubles to Yolanda and stands her up for their second date. Since he is smart and ambitious, he is not down for long and the book has a happy ending. Even though it is filled with life lessons about the causes of homelessness, strength, and ingenuity, it is not heavy handed. This “rapid read” is meant for reluctant readers but might only appeal to girls because there is little action. Positive reviews Booklist and SLJ.
