About this title

Review:

Alex Kotlowitz author of There Are No Children Here A remarkable piece of reportage about a tucked-away corner of America... It's one compelling read.

Vogue A magnificent tour de force...An insider's narrative that grips from the start.

Janet Maslin The New York Times Mesmerizing...The artistry of this frank, enthralling book lies in the utter simplicity -- and careful, subtle selectivity -- with which LeBlanc plainly describes the determining events in what will now be unforgettable lives.

Newsweek Keenly observed, pitch-perfect...A dense, rich narrative that reads like a novel.

Los Angeles Times A nonfiction Middlemarch of the underclass...A new benchmark in the field of immersion journalism.
