A New York Times Best Book of the Year (2025) - A Gripping Exposé of America's Working Homeless Crisis In a country where hard work and determination are supposed to lead to success, a shocking phenomenon has emerged: people with full-time jobs are being forced into homelessness. Through the stories of five Atlanta families, journalist Brian Goldstone sheds light on a disturbing trend that is being driven by skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights. These families are not victims of circumstance, but rather the result of a thriving economy that is pricing them out of their homes. As they struggle to make ends meet, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of a gentrifying city that is increasingly unequal. With each new story, Goldstone plunges the reader into the lives of these families, revealing the human cost of a system that is failing its most vulnerable citizens. A deeply reported and gripping work of journalism, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of poverty and homelessness in America.
