Description: When someone dies indigent, homeless, disenfranchised from society, or without family or friends, there may be no easy path to resting in peace. With over half a million people experiencing homelessness in the US, Too Poor to Die: The Hidden Realities of Dying in the Margins, is a timely book, bearing witness to disparities in death and dying faced by some of society's most vulnerable and marginalized.
Review Quotes:
"Shea pulls no punches in illustrating the 'raw reality of poverty and homelessness in death' so that we can better understand the inequities and disparities, and inspire change. With heart and detail, she takes us on her journey of first-hand learning about
the social and cultural problems associated with who is 'deserving' of dignity, close to death and once dead. . . .Too Poor to Die is for anyone who is interested in social injustices in our society."
