They mocked my cheap shoes at my father\u2019s funeral. They laughed until the fleet of gleaming luxury cars arrived, silencing the entire cemetery.

I am twenty-six years old and for the last three years I\u2019ve been a paralegal at Bright Line Legal Group, a midsized firm in Maple Ridge that smells like stale coffee and old files.
