They never could have forseen the effects of their actions. Detective Oh Yejun is a criminal-catching prodigy. He begins his time at Rockfield High University by studying the cases of the missing girls but soon progresses to another case that leaves him completely baffled. How are the missing women related?

Download or read book The Missing Class written by Katherine Newman and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of the Best Business Books of 2007 by Library Journal The Missing Class gives voice to the 54 million Americans, including 21 percent of the nation's children, who are sandwiched between poor and middle class. While government programs help the needy and politicians woo the more fortunate, the "Missing Class" is largely invisible and ignored. Through the experiences of nine families, Katherine Newman and Victor Tan Chen trace the unique problems faced by individuals in this large and growing demographic-the "near poor." The question for the Missing Class is not whether they're doing better than the truly poor-they are. The question is whether these individuals, on the razor's edge of subsistence, are safely ensconced in the Missing Class or in danger of losing it all. The Missing Class has much to tell us about whether the American dream still exists for those who are sacrificing daily to achieve it.
