Evicted
In “Evicted,” Matthew Desmond takes us on a heart-wrenching journey through Milwaukee’s poorest neighborhoods, exposing the harsh realities of America’s housing crisis. Through intimate portraits of eight families struggling to keep a roof over their heads, Desmond reveals the devastating cycle of poverty and eviction. I was struck by the author’s empathy and the way he humanizes each story, making you feel as if you’re right there with these families. It’s a sobering, eye-opening read that changed how I view housing inequality in our country.
