She works hard and saves and stashes money in her room. So Raspberry has become obsessed with making money to help them get out.
Now at least they have a roof over their heads but it’s not a good situation.
It wasn’t long until the money ran out and they were sleeping on the street. When he started beating her mom, they moved out. They used to have a home and a nuclear family, but Raspberry’s dad began using drugs and sold all their things. Her mom named her after the fruit because of her red hair, red eyebrows “and enough freckles on my face that you can play connect the dots.” Raspberry and her mom live in the projects “with gangbangers and junkies” but they try to make the best of it. The narrator of this story of poverty and pluck is an endearing thirteen-year-old named Raspberry Hill.
