About this ebook
A new wave of foreclosures is underway and Laura Gottesdiener is one of the few speak to issues faced by the millions of Americans who have been swept up in a wave of mass eviction. Their stories not only show a new side to ongoing the financial crisis, they reveal something about us as a nation, what we permit and what we resist. The author's involvement in the foreclosure defense movement gives her an insider's look at how some communities stand by the neighbors to help them defend their home, and their future, from foreclosure. The author's travels to areas hardest hit offers an intimate behind the scenes look at the lives of ordinary Americans, their fight against predatory financial practices, how the legal system often supports the banks, and how a growing number of people are fighting back. Laura Gottesdiener is a fresh new voice who brims with raw literary talent and social conscience.
