An American Story
Sep 07, 2018mrsbarker rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
Outstanding book, well researched, well written. The wealthy come across as clueless and self-interested but I suppose they can't help being the way they are. My heart goes out to those families who had the rug of their reality ripped out from under them. Kudos to the young people who have become stronger from watching the struggles of their community and families. I read this book the same week I read "Evicted", another wrenching story of poverty in America. I'm so sorry for the inequity that exists in the world. Thank you, Ms. Goldstein, for showing me a side of life in America that I would never have seen, living on the west coast in a tech bubble town.
