The Invisible Child

When it comes to the harsh realities of poverty in America, few can truly understand its effects like Kathryn Edin and H. Luke Shaefer. In their book, The Invisible Child: Poverty and Survival in American Families, they provide a powerful account of the experiences of children and families living in extreme poverty. Through interviews and research, they offer an illuminating look into a world that many of us are unaware of – a world where children often go without basic necessities and struggle to survive. The authors provide valuable insight into the plight of the invisible child, and show how we can all work together to help those facing these challenges. By combining careful research with compelling personal stories, this book provides an important window into a too-often neglected part of our society.
