Tell Me Who I Am (2016)
“Those were the first words Debra Judson said to me. “Tell me who I am.”
As I motioned her toward one of the clients’ chairs, I studied her. Thin, stringy blond hair; no makeup on her round face; a trifle overweight for her five-and-a-half-foot frame, but not obese; ripped, tattered jeans and a rumpled pink blouse with two buttons missing. But that’s the style for twentysomethings here in San Francisco’s tech-savvy canyons South of Market. To the casual observer she might have seemed to be u...nclean and smell bad. But no, her face was recently scrubbed and a faint gardenia scent drifted around her.

She had a faint regional accent—Midwestern, maybe.
I didn’t want to tell her that she’d gotten in to see me because business was so slow that the “boss lady” was terminally bored and had been dozing on her couch.MoreLess
