Examining the lives of single, working-class mothers in rural America, this book investigates the life of the still stigmatized single-mom. It finds that most rely on low-paid jobs, welfare, inconsistent child support, and help from family and friends just to get by as they often don't have enough money to provide for themselves or their children.
Margaret Nelson investigates the lives of single, working-class mothers in this compelling and timely book. Through personal interviews, she uncovers the different challenges that mothers and their children face in small town America--a place greatly changed over the past fifty years as factory work has dried up and national chains like Walmart have moved in.
