God was this good and impactful. Just a really clear look at how poverty looks in this godforsaken country, and how you can't "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" if the system is set up to make sure that you can't move forward. And Ms. Land didn't even have systemic racism working against her! Just. incredible and so important.

I actually watched the TV show first so everything was so exaggerated in there, this book was less dramatic. But it was still a harrowing, interesting story that we should all look at and take note of. This is a person that suffered greatly, even with white privilege. Imagine those that have stories even worse with no support and ability to tell their story. I’m grateful for this book so I can keep that in mind and look out for my community. I hope those that are living in their own bubble will take a chance, read this book, and see how much we need to come together and look out for each other. An important read.
