520    "Many Americans take comfort and convenience for granted. 
       We eat at nice restaurants, order groceries online, and 
       hire nannies to care for kids. Getting Me Cheap is a  
       portrait of the lives of the low-wage workers-primarily 
       women-who make this lifestyle possible. Sociologists Lisa 
       Dodson and Amanda Freeman follow women in the food, health
       care, home care, and other low-wage industries as they 
       struggle to balance mothering with bad jobs and without 
       public aid. While these women tend to the needs of well-
       off families, their own children frequently step into 
       premature adult roles, providing care for siblings and 
       aging family members. Based on years of in-depth field 
       work and hundreds of eye-opening interviews, Getting Me 
       Cheap explores how America traps millions of women and 
       their children into lives of stunted opportunity and 
       poverty in service of giving others of us the lives we 
       seek."--|cProvided by publisher.
