Julie and Rachael in the lobby of the West Hotel.
By 1994, Julie left Jack because he was physically abusive and did not want to stop using drugs. She was trying to stay clean because she did not want to lose Rachael. After Julie and Jack broke up, she drifted from one residential hotel to the next, taking little with her but Rachael. In one year, she moved 12 times. |

Julie comforts Robert who was left with her to babysit for
the day. His parents did not come back for about a week because they were strung out on drugs. San Francisco, 1995 |
At the West Hotel, Julie lived in a small room with no
kitchen. She either eats take-out food, eats at a soup kitchen or sometimes borrows a hot plate from neighbors. Julie and Rachael spend most of the time hanging out in the lobby because their room is infested with fleas. |
Julie disciplines Rachael for talking back.

Julie kills cockroaches while Rachael sleeps.
They shared a single room with a disabled friend because their room was infested with fleas. |
