Black quarter cloth silver titled, with brown paper-covered boards, very clean and unmarked, tight and solid. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jonathan Freedman offers the first comprehensive view of poverty in a generation, showing beyond doubt that the poor are no longer confined to some Other America or so called 'underclass'. Freedman spent three years investigating and recording conversations with people of all ages, visiting prenatal clinics, schools, job-training centers, nursing homes, asking. "what helps? what works? what hurts? " Their responses give a human face to poverty--children struggling to grow up, families fighting to keep their homes, displaced workers seeking training, retirees struggling to age and die with dignity. And Freedman discovered a heartening number of individuals and organizations already working to eliminate suffering. He also shows how innovative programs on a shoestring budget can help seemingly hopeless people cope with their lives and sometimes transform them. 245 pages with index. 6.4 x 9.6 inches.
