Beschreibung

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.
