At last, Elliott combines his keen sense of observation and unmatched knowledge of the politics of securing services for the homeless and weaves them into a tale of intrigue set in Savannah, Georgia. This page-turner marks the first novel by this prolific author of essays and inspirational non-fiction. It takes the reader on a fascinating, disturbing, and yet often hilarious journey across the political landscape of a town trying to deal with the economic reality of too many sick people, too few services for them, and healthcare struggling for survival while trying to meet the community's health needs. Based on his own experience as a non-profit executive, Elliott exposes the administrative travails of healthcare management. This book is clever, witty, and insightful, and is fun reading; but once you have finished reading it, you will never look at healthcare the same way. This book is Elliott's most provocative.
