In the middle of the Great Recession, Morris Golden fights to save his marriage and keep the bank from foreclosing on his house. And he just might be able to pull it off if only he could get this stubborn magical change machine to work. Golden paints a vulnerable portrait of how we recover from devastating events, maintain hope during hopeless times, and strive to connect with one another in order to survive in a world in crisis.
