Summary:

"In this moving and unique story, Reyes weaves together his own family history with an illuminating portrayal of the world of eviction--a world to which his family is inseparably bound. He delves into fundamental questions of property, family, displacement, and belonging. With lush, lively writing and the savvy of a first-rate journalist, he shares with his readers a wealth of understanding about the unseen social consequences of the foreclosure crisis and the real stories behind the recession. Part exposé and part meditation. 'Exiles in Eden' is as powerful as it is timely"--Page 2 of cover.
