Presents a deeply moving human face that brings the stunning numbers to life. It is an explosive book . . . The stories will make you angry and break your heart." — <i>American Prospect</i><br /></b><br /> Jessica Compton's family of four would have no income if she didn't donate plasma twice a week at her local donation center in Tennessee. Modonna Harris and her teenage daughter, Brianna, in Chicago, often have no food but spoiled milk on weekends.<br /> After two decades of brilliant research on American poverty, Kathryn Edin noticed something she hadn't seen before — households surviving on virtually no cash income. Edin teamed with Luke Shaefer, an expert on calculating incomes of the poor, to discover that the number of American families living on $2.00 per person, per day, has skyrocketed to one and a half million households, including about three million children.<br /> Where do these families live? How did they get so desperately poor? Through this book's eye-opening analysis and many compelling profiles, moving and startling answers emerge. <i>$2.00 a Day</i> delivers new evidence and new ideas to our national debate on income inequality.<br /> <br /> <b>"Harrowing . . .
