Reviews

<p> A moving and insightful look at poverty, attitudes and social programs in the United States [and] an inspiring portrait of a public servant who believes government can, and should, make a difference in people's lives. -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution


''The book lives up to its title, will touch the hearts of its readers, even as it gets to the heart of what a rich and mighty nation still needs to do to realize its many possibilities.''
