I began reading Evicted thinking I had a decent idea of how poverty and eviction worked, I had no idea. This book taught me so much about the intricacies and challenges that daily face the lives of some of our nation's poorest. Matthew Desmond gives us a glimpse into the lives of several families in Milwaukee. You'll find yourself cycling through a range of emotions reading this book, from anger to hope and sympathy and in the end you'll walk away with a greater understanding of how this kind of poverty affects us all.
