520    "Based on five years of fieldwork in Boston, Can't Catch a
       Break documents the day-to-day lives of forty women as 
       they struggle to survive sexual abuse, violent communities,
       ineffective social and therapeutic programs, 
       discriminatory local and federal policies, criminalization,
       incarceration, and a broad cultural consensus that views 
       suffering as a consequence of personal flaws and bad 
       choices. Combining hard-hitting policy analysis with an 
       intimate account of how marginalized women navigate an 
       unforgiving world, Susan Sered and Maureen Norton-Hawk 
       shine new light on the deep and complex connections 
       between suffering and social inequality"--Provided by
