The characters are complex & real. The scenario is not only plausible but has happened. The writing was exemplary. Yet it still bought into stereotypes and had some unrealistic moments. Fetuses don't get found in dumpsters. There are rules about medical waste. Also, carpenters are not generally poor. It's very skilled labor, and the pay is, while not doctor pay, certainly well above poverty wages. It is, in fact, ~20K over the median income.
