520    "Every year, more than 2.5 million children are left 
       homeless in the United States and the number of such 
       families continues to rise annually. In every state, 
       children are living in small quarters packed in with 
       relatives-- in cars, in motel rooms, or in emergency 
       shelters. In this vividly-written narrative, experienced 
       journalist Richard Schweid takes us on a spirited journey 
       through this "invisible nation, ' giving us front-row 
       dispatches of suffering families on the edge. Based on in-
       depth reporting from five major cities, Invisible Nation 
       looks backward at the historical context of family 
       homelessness as well as forward at what needs to be done 
       to alleviate this widespread, although often hidden, 
       poverty. Invisible Nation is a riveting must-read for 
       everyone who cares about inequality, poverty and family 
       life"--Provided by publisher.
