From the author of the eye-opening and controversial essay on
poverty that was read by millions comes the real-life "Nickel and
Dimed," as Linda Tirado explains what it's like to be working poor
in America, and why poor people make the decisions they do.
We in America have certain ideas of what it means to be poor.
Linda Tirado, in her signature brutally honest yet personable
voice, takes all of these preconceived notions and smashes them to
bits. She articulates not only what it is to be working poor in
America (yes, you can be poor and live in a house and have a job,
even two), but what poverty is truly like--on all levels. In her
thought-provoking voice, Tirado discusses how she went from
lower-middle class, to sometimes middle class, to poor and
everything in between, and in doing so reveals why "poor people
don't always behave the way middle-class America thinks they
should."
