 Nickel and Dimedby Barbara Ehrenreich A modern classic that deftly portrays the plight of America's working-class poor, through the author's own attempt at scratching out a living in blue-collar America.

 Animal, Vegetable, Miracleby Barbara Kingsolver Moving from suburban Arizona to rural Appalachia, the author and her family spend a year on a diet of locally produced food.
