Nickel and Dimed.../ Barbara Ehrenriech / 221 pages / October Banned Books

In 2010, Nickel and Dimed was #8 on ALA's 100 Top Banned/Challenged Books list.  It was criticized for drug use, inaccuracies, offensive language, political viewpoint and religious viewpoint.  In it the author recounts her attempts to live on the salary of various low-paying jobs.  It was certainly heartbreaking to read what 12 million American women must endure each day!
