Om Damn Near Broke
"What do you do when the money runs out? That's the challenged faced by the Whitacres, a couple who find themselves -- as the title promises -- damn near broke. Their back-and-forth story will keep you reading ... and being thankful it's not happening to you!"
- Hollis George, editor and anthologist
Buddy and Martha Whitacre, a blue-collar couple, celebrate early retirement with a trip to Spain. They return home to discover that they've been wiped out by the investment fund that made retirement and travel possible. Damn Near Broke is the tale of how they deal with impending poverty, each other, and especially the shame of it all. Chapters alternate between Martha and Buddy, two quite different voices.
