challenging emotional informative medium-paced

A Bleak look at the poorest of the poor living in the united states.  It tracks a few families struggles and the recourses the have access to and lack access too.  There struggles that keep them poor and make it almost impossible to escape such a stark level of poverty.  There was a good job in explaining us policy's that effect the poor and the short falls of such programs along with why they were implemented. Its a heart breaking yet informing read.  It was surprising to see how hopeful those struggling to have a place to live and lacking food to eat are despite there circumstances. It shows how hard they work to improve there situation in a  system that is set against them.
