"A powerful and compelling account of family life in the context of problem debtRequired reading for people studying, working with, and most importantly making policies affecting low-income families." Gill Main, University of Leeds "This beautifully written, perceptive and reflexive study of debt is a testament to the power of stories, grounded in wider research and policy contexts. Please read it." Professor the Baroness Ruth Lister of Burtersett
