Work off the books?
Hello everybody.
I have two questions.
Would you please help me?
What 'work off the books for a restaurant' in the following mean?
My mom forbids my sister to work off the books for a restaurant.
And my second question, in the following does the writer herself is growing wings or she is on a bird ?
I pictured my self being saved by some gravitational reversal and sprouting wings that would carry me from this place until I found myself among other migratory beings bound for somewhere that feels like home.
Thanks so much.
You are really a great help.
