Examples Of Marilyn Cross

Improved Essays
Hello. For anyone that works with the EDS ships, drop everything immediately. This important announcement is about one Marilyn Cross. Many of you have heard about my recent discovery of a stowaway aboard the EDS I happened to be stationed on. I got back and was immediately greeted as a hero and as a brave soul.

    Evicted, a New York Times Bestseller book written by Matthew Desmond, captured many faces of a culturally diverse population.
