She prayed each night before laying her head upon her makeshift pillow, thanking the good Lord above for her blessings.

It was the little things:
​A new start—free from the terror of physical abuse.
Food in her belly, a bottle of water in the center console.
A crisp new library card and a stack of books by her side.
A rare parking space in a No-Tow-Zone and adjacent to a streetlight, to boot, where she could read until her eyelids grew heavy.
​The soft blanket of snow insulating her temporary home.
Kindness of strangers.
​A new job on Monday.
