The heart goes last

a novel
When an economic and social collapse finds Stan and Charmaine, a married couple, living in their car and exposed to the dangers on the streets, they see the Positron Project as an answer to their prayers. Everyone who participates is allowed to live in the comfortable town of Consilience with reliable employment, a roof over their head, and no worry for where their next meal will come from. The only trade off is, after living comfortably for six months, they must spend time as inmates at the local prison, after which time they can return to their home in Consilience.
