Synopsis
'Trenton is where I learned about hunger, where it became personal for me, where it shed a thick hide of abstraction and touched my life, if only from the outside looking in. It is also where I learned something else: that the kindness of strangers can make a difference, even against a scourge that lingers in plain sight and never goes away.
More than anything, this is really just a simple story about everyday people. People who need help and people who are fighting a holding action to meet that need. Fortunately, and unfortunately, that fight goes on.'

Dust jacket has wrinkling, chipping and crease on the edges and right side of the front flap with diagonal crease, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. Battling Hunger - Building Lives. 9.5"x6.25", 132 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. This is the story of what has happened in one corner of a vast and thriving enterprise called hunger. It is an American story, and it has unfolded in plain sight on the streets of the capital city of New Jersey, one of the nation's wealthiest states. Drawing on extensive interviews, research and personal experience, veteran journalist and writer Lee Seglem goes behind the scenes of a persistent national scandal to offer a compelling, genuinely human account of the volunteers, workers and patrons of place called TASK - the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. From humble beginnings in the basement of a church to a million-dollar building expansion, the story of TASK is emblematic of desperate efforts under way in communities across the U.S. as overburdened food banks, soup kitchens, pantries and other nonprofit providers of emergency food and shelter scramble to keep up with a pervasive scourge while fighting a holding action against its underlying causes. In Plain Sight shatters myths and stereotypes and provides a powerful, poignant record of a deeply disturbing 21st Century phenomenon that many people don't think about but should, a phenomenon that demands a prominent place in any responsible political and social agenda.
