A deeply vulnerable memoir about the life of Deborah Foster and her family, the hardships they endured, and their link to extreme poverty. Deborah is exploring common misconceptions about the causes and effects of poverty in American society through the lens of her own personal experiences. Inspired by an offensive characterization of poverty by eugenist Charles Murray, Deborah sets out to examine the flaws in Murray's argument using her own life as extended evidence of his errors in thinking. If Murray asks, "What's So Bad About Being Poor?" then Deborah is prepared to answer with many firsthand examples.
Deborah M. Foster is first and foremost happily married, living in the Midwest with their cat. She identifies as an ex-evangelical fundamentalist. Her favorite pastime is playing pool with her husband and her stepson and his girlfriend
