I was gripped by the levels of poverty and suffering reported in New Brunswick before the Equal Opportunity Program. The authors effectively create a rather frightening picture of life for the poor in New Brunswick, and do a thorough job describing the beginnings of social work in the province, its surprisingly slow development, and its importance to the development of social policy. This well-written, well-researched, and fascinating book makes a valuable contribution to Canadian social history. - Karen J. Swift, professor emeritus, School of Social Work, York University
