The book focuses on the personal narratives of North Carolinians living in poverty, highlighting the struggles faced by over 1.5 million residents, including a significant number of children. Gene R. Nichol shares insights from extensive interviews conducted since 2012, aiming to shed light on the often-overlooked realities of poverty. In a new afterword, he presents updated data and emphasizes the need for societal commitment to address and ultimately eradicate poverty, which he identifies as a critical challenge requiring collective action beyond political divides.
