Exposing America's working poor with raw honesty.
"Nickel and Dimed" isn't just an eye-opening journey, but a deeply personal experience. Barbara Ehrenreich doesn't just write about the struggle to make ends meet; she lives it, showing us the grueling reality behind the glossy American dream. If you've ever pondered about the true cost of low-wage jobs on human dignity, this book goes beyond mere statistics and news stories. It's a powerful narrative that could forever change how you view the service industry and those who labor within it.
