The author tries to walk in the shoes of minimum wage earners.

Thank you so much for this book! This is the first copy sent to Chambana Bookcrossers, in preparation for our mass-release as part of One Book One Campus, where the entire campus is to read this book and then there will be activites & discussion around it for about a month.

Borrowed this one from the previous journaler. A book every bit as compelling as the critical praise suggests, it is a fantastic - if disturbing - read that will open some eyes. The problems it describes will prove difficult to redress, and the author, for all her unfortunate hubris, does not even presume to know all the answers. Without exposés such as this, however, the lives of the working poor might forever remain curiously invisible even (perhaps especially) to those with the power and, one hopes, the compassion to work toward a solution.
