Tightrope: Americans Reaching for Hope by Nicholas D. Kristof, Sheryl Wudunn
4.0

Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas D. Kristof take a look at America's problems today with jobs that don't pay well, drug difficulties, the lack of a safety net, and poverty, and they start in their own backyard, looking at people they know personally.

It's a careful look at the promise these people had as children and how these people fell off the tightrope that is today's America.

And then they do more---they look at places that offer solutions to these problems, and they offer these up to us.

Let's hope those who are in charge of the world read this book.
