Summary: Plain language a welcome when discussing poverty and welfare
Comment: Finally, a book that discusses the subject of poverty, welfare dependency and our economic system by using the plain, spoken English language. Gone are the doctorial essays on social stratification, mind-numbing research statistics, and twenty letter words. This book provides a superb overview of the subject without it being too elementary. She uses renown experts on the subject, and than paraphrases/summarizes their conclusions in easy to understand language. As a teacher of poverty at a community college, it was a welcome relief to assign readings from this book because the students were able to grasp the subject so much better than with textbooks written for people already having a good foundation in economics, sociology and scientific inquiry. Thank you Karen Seccombe for telling it like it is, and doing it in language that most can understand.

Summary: TREMENDOUSLY INSIGHTFUL!
Comment: This work brings into the light the hardships that women on welfare endure. It does women on welfare justice that this work was published. The author was very thorough in her research, and brought out many things about our welfare system that I was unware of. I would definitely recommend this book to other people. It's a must read!
