<div>&ldquo;This book will give you an entirely new perspective on work in America.&rdquo; &mdash;Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed In what has been described as &ldquo;the crime wave no one talks about,&rdquo; billions of dollars&rsquo; worth of wages are stolen from millions of workers in the United States every year&mdash;a grand theft that exceeds every other larceny category. Even the Economic Policy Foundation, a business-funded think tank, has estimated that companies annually steal an incredible $19 billion in unpaid overtime. The scope of these abuses is staggering, but activists, unions, and policymakers&mdash;along with everyday Americans in congregations and towns across the country&mdash;have begun to take notice. While the first edition of Wage Theft In America documented the scope of the problem, this new edition adds the latest research on wage theft and tells what community, religious, and labor activists are now doing to address the crisis&mdash;from passing state and local wage-theft bills to establishing mayoral task forces and tapping agencies that help low-wage workers in spotting wage theft. Citing hard-hitting statistics and heartbreaking first-person accounts of exploitation at the hands of employers, this updated edition of Wage Theft In America offers concrete solutions and a roadmap for putting an end to this insidious practice.</div>

<div>A daughter&rsquo;s memoir of sacrifice and discovery as her ailing mother&rsquo;s caretaker is &ldquo;an inspiring story of love, loss and the ravages of aging&rdquo; (Kirkus). Like all mothers, mine had a set of maxims that she thought were important to impart to me: if you can&rsquo;t say anything nice, then don&rsquo;t say anything at all (unless it&rsquo;s irresistibly funny); it&rsquo;s as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is with a poor man (a nice idea in theory); if you want to commit suicide, wait until tomorrow (advice which has, it turns out, saved my life). Like many daughters of elderly parents, Pat MacEnulty finds herself in a maze of healthcare negotiations and surprising discoveries when her mother can no longer care for herself. Pat&rsquo;s mother, who stood by her through her darkest years, was a small-town icon as a composer, pianist, organist, and musical director. She is suddenly unable to be the accomplished, independent person she once was. Now Pat has two goals: to help her daughter avoid the mistakes that derailed her own life, and to see her mother&rsquo;s masterpiece, &ldquo;An American Requiem,&rdquo; find a new life and a new audience in her mother&rsquo;s lifetime. Along the way, Pat rediscovers her own strength, humor, and rebelliousness at the most unlikely moments.</div>
