The Last Resort is the story of a woman just minutes from life on the street, writing from a run-down transient hotel in the inner city. It is the true, hard, wickedly funny story of Aggie Max.

Filled with every kind of pestilence imaginable, the hotel is a hell of sorts, but Max's rage and talent make her the Dante of this particular Inferno. The everyday events she writes about not only take readers into the heartless heart of the hotel (including its insane inhabitants, broken plumbing, and routine riots), but also show us a woman who conquers her own demons, refusing to be defined by her poverty.
