AMERICAN DREAM

THREE WOMEN, TEN KIDS, AND A NATION’S DRIVE TO END WELFARE

“With equal measure of compassion and dispassion, Jason DeParle confronts us inescapably with the reality of poverty in America. You cannot read this book and remain indifferent to those who are being left behind. This is one of the great works on social policy of this generation.”
