In Tightrope: Americans Reaching for Hope, Pulitzer Prize winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn take a personal and harrowing look at the pervasive problems of poverty, drug abuse, and rising death rate in America through the stories of the people in America's forgotten towns. What they discover is a problem that goes far beyond unemployment or personal choice: they discover America's great social depression.

About the original book:

Tightrope is an unflinching, personal, statistical, and political account of the problems that have plagued America over the last half-century and how the authors believe we can solve them. Ranging from mass incarceration to homelessness, the opioid crisis and rampant poverty, husband and wife team Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn use intensely personal stories of people they spent time with, and some Nicholas grew up with, to paint a vivid picture of the faces that stand behind the facts.
