Daniel C, Media/Journalist
Perhaps not just one of the best nonfiction books but one of the best books of 2016. This kind of journalism is rare in contemporary literature--it's Studs Terkel-esque--as Desmond weaves the narratives of individuals with statistics we all pretend don't exist.

This is a good but hea breaking book. The book focuses on several families each with a different set of circumstances. the writer knows how to draw the reader into the book. I felt I was with each one of the characters
