Eve's Refusal

Eve is a nobody - just a dirty, mentally challenged homeless woman who stands on a street corner in her rags and "prophesies." But she knows exactly what she possesses - what most of those who pity her don't have.

Eve refuses to take advantage of social programs - and for good reason. She refuses to submit to the medical procedure and the progress monitoring, preferring instead to keep what she has.

Eve has an important lesson to teach Andrew Thurston, Director of the Social Equity and Rehabilitation Department, who is determined to help her. It's a lesson he learns the hard way.
