Publisher's summary

Welfare is wholly made up of four-line paragraphs and has a cadence that is uniquely its own. A high school student leaves his parents’ home to live on his own with friends and with the help of government aid. The narrator becomes your best friend on the first chapter.

I walk down the slight slope of their driveway. A backpack full of t-shirts and socks and underwear and books on my back. I have 50 dollars and two packs of cigarettes in the pocket of my army surplus jacket. But no lighter. You can’t have everything I tell myself.

Steve Anwyll lives in Canada.

Excellent Listen

Incredible narration and fully entertaining throughout. Dismal and gritty and funny and cool. Don’t sleep on Steve Anwyll.

This was great!

I don't know why, but I thought this was going to be much more depressing. It was but in a good way. It was funny. The narrator's voice is fitting to the story. Good pace and will probably listen again. Hidden gem!

Don't Sleep On This!

Surprise shot to the gut. Steve Anwyll is a secret badass, and Don Moretti pulls it off. Killer!

A solid listen with great narrator

I grabbed this book because I was a fan of some other titles from Talking Book. Welfare is in the same vein. It was dark, funny, entertaining and a fun listen. I would definitely recommend to a friend. Don Moretti knocked it out of the park. Two thumbs up.
