A timely and important read. Those who live in rural America and among the communities of the working poor will recognize themselves and their communities in this book.

I think this book is a great idea and can help some people, but, unfortunately, I can't use a lot of this advice. I can't get my parents and grandparents to join a mutual aid group or watch an educational movie with me. I don't have the resources to found a church or similar organization.

This book also focuses solely on reaching the people with the biggest economical disadvantage. I need to know how to talk to and help people who are closer to being in the middle class.

Ultimately, I think this will be helpful to others, but it left me no closer to an idea of how to break through the haze in the lives of the people I know.

Thank you to NetGalley and Broadleaf Books for the ARC.
