White Trash begins in the colonial area, where Isenberg is at her best. ![]() Although Isenberg's premise and phrase is at times repetitive, this reader ultimately found "waste people" to be a useful term in thinking about power and the process by which class is made and re-made.

The Levins, whose sons are themselves adopted, were unable to resist Oogy's charms, and decided to take him home. ![]() He had been thrown in a cage and left to die until the police rescued him and the staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital saved his life. The dog had been used as bait for fighting dogs when he was just a few months old.

In 2002, Larry Levin and his twin sons, Dan and Noah, took their terminally ill cat to the Ardmore Animal Hospital outside Philadelphia to have the beloved pet put to sleep. In the bestselling tradition of Rescuing Sprite comes the story of a puppy brought back from the brink of death, and the family he adopted. ![]() |
