In a highly accessible mix of narrative and interviews with social
science research, Dodson unearths the untold story of a silent
movement for justice in contemporary America. Lisa Dodson spent
eight years interviewing more than 800 supervisors, teachers and
healthcare workers about their experiences interacting with the
working poor. She repeatedly heard accounts of people bending the
rules to help workers get by. These stories point to a surprising
and inspiring phenomenon of the middle class refusing to be
complicit in a fundamentally unfair enconomy.
