The Smith family once lived a modest, stable life in the rural South, but poverty and despair now threaten to tear them apart.
Wade, restless and filled with quiet rebellion, looks to escape the suffocating grip of their past. His sister Ruby, ever hopeful, clings to a dream of a better future—though the weight of their hardships is beginning to crush her spirit.
When the harsh realities of their small-town life become too much to bear, they take a bold step toward New York City, the glittering 'City of Dreams.'
But a city filled with opportunity also holds a dark side.
Wade and Ruby must navigate a brutal world of cutthroat ambition and unforgiving streets. As they struggle to survive in this new, bustling world, their bond as siblings will be tested—secrets from their past and long-buried family traumas resurfacing, threatening to unravel everything they’ve fought for.
In Depression, the Smiths’ journey is a heart-wrenching, unflinching look at the fragility of dreams in the face of overwhelming odds. Will Wade and Ruby’s hope for a better life survive the ruthless city that promises so much, or will the ghosts of their past destroy them?

Depression
Poorly written and poorly edited. Language used was like reading a poorly written third grade reader. The sexual part was.disgusting. I skipped most of it.
