Dividing Zero is the first in a series of stand alone stories in the Freedom Files which shines a light on the plight of different segments of society. In Dividing Zero, James and Dorothy Smith find themselves fast losing ground as Dorothy can only find part-time employment and James knows only too well the results of off-shoring jobs.
In this brutally honest account, Russell shows us how an economic downturn will strain the best of relationships. We feel the pain as James struggles with his self-esteem as his income falls, fearing to answer his phone and worried what the others must think of him now that he must rely partly on government assistance.
