Description
TEMPLAND: A novel. A lighthearted-yet-heavy-hitting satire on being young and making a living in America.The heroine, Melanie Evers, is a plucky young working-class woman from Akron, Ohio struggling to support herself in Chicago in the post 9/11 economy.
TEMPLAND follows
Melanie's journey through the temporary employment world from a college student
on "just a summer job" to a 28-year-old woman with a lot of
intelligence (and a heap of student loan debt to match) through multiple
layoffs and a series of ever-more-wacky temp assignments, as she struggles not
only to survive, but also to find romance and always remain true to the honest,
working-class values instilled in her by her beloved grandfather.
In her long, solitary journey through Templand, Melanie encounters adventure
and romance on her search for that always-elusive Permanent Job---which she
finally gets, along with her man.
