答案

尽管失去了工作和住房,Andrea Clark （主人公人名,保持原味不音译,下同）一直认为自己是一个被神眷顾和幸福女人.为什么会有这样开朗的心态呢?她所遇到的困难使她与家人走得更近了.去年,Andrea的丈夫Rick（人名）失去了内华达州的矿工工作.尽管Andrea还没有失掉校车司机的工作,但她明白单凭她一人的收入是无法承担家庭开支和抚养5个孩子中最小的仅有9岁的Zack的.“最初她们的教堂给予我们帮助,但是那毕竟不是长久之计”Andrea说.之后她的已成年的大儿子Michael（人名）建议他们（Michael一家）搬回去和她们住.就这样Clark一家七口住在了同一屋檐下将近三个月.Andrea,Rick 和 Zack住在了地下室公寓里与Michael
和他的妻子及两个孩子共用一个洗衣房和卫生间.这样他们的花销就因彼此分担而减半了,然而,这种转变也给他们带来了很大的挑战.当Andrea找到一份在犹他州离她母亲家不远的学区的工作的时候,她们决定离开了.再一次打包收拾行装,小Zack不得不第二次转学了,居住的空间也变得更小了.Andrea表示搬家本身就是很累人的,她的丈夫Rick仍是在找工作.经济大萧条所带来的问题远比Andrea想象中的多,但她却一如既往的很乐观.她对能有时间和母亲在一起很兴奋,并且在犹他州房租要比内华达州便宜.Andrea认为要不了6个月她们就能攒下足够的钱搬出去居住了（不用再在母亲家里挤了）.
