I am currently working with homeless families and families in poverty and this book has helped educate me on their culture, and how to best help them. Great book!
By Christian Rose
This book contains priceless information about working with people living in poverty. Unfortunately, it was very difficult, and at times impossible, to read the charts in the Kindle edition. This was very poorly done and should be corrected.
