This book will make you mad. Mad at how we continue to fail those most in need in the US, and not by negligence but by actively choosing to make their lives harder by our legislation. 

Do yourself a favor and pick this book up and give it a read.

This is an incredibly important book that lays out the plight of extreme poverty in America. It should be required reading for every elected official. The author's choice to use a combination of history, statistics, and stories of families who are in poverty across America makes this book accessible to anyone interested in this topic. There was not much content that was new to me, but I was still moved by the individual stories and appreciate that this book exists for people to learn more about what it's like to live in poverty.
