No place at the table

"According to the Institute for Children and Poverty and other reliable sources, every night over one million children in the United States are homeless. This is a devastatingly large problem, yet homeless children are a hidden population within a prosperous country. There is a growing awareness that the lives of these homeless/transient children are different from most children living in poverty. A search for understanding of these issues will currently provide little helpful information for the searching professional or volunteer. No place at the table: America's homeless children helps fill that void."--Cover back.
