Trapped in the triangle of the housing market collapse, rising energy costs, and an increasingly dysfunctional health care system, America’s working poor are now battling an even more formidable enemy: hunger. Breadline USA tells the stories of Americans in all types of communities who struggle to put food on the table come the end of the month when money runs out and the social safety net isn’t there to catch them.

You can preview an excerpt from Breadline USA at the publisher’s website, and order a copy from Amazon or Powell’s Books.
