This engrossing piece of undercover reportage is a New York Times best-seller. With nearly a million copies in print, Nickel and Dimed is a modern classic that deftly portrays the plight of America's working-class poor.

What she discovers is a culture of desperation, where workers often take multiple low-paying jobs just to keep a roof overhead.
