Perfect book for the current economic crisis. This enlightening book brings to light people and situations we either are, or walk by everyday. The working class poor are very busy people. In order to survive they've learned to juggle more than one job with family, poor housing and groceries. Health care is a luxury. Perseverence is built in to their core. Read it. and count your blessings. Then go out and tip the waitress more than 1$.
