"A rarely matched essay on the meaning and feeling of hunger, degradation, and want." —The New York Times Book Review

The 50th anniversary edition of a powerful diary documenting the plight of the poor

Carolina Maria de Jesus wrote her diary on scraps of paper each day while she scavenged through the squalid slums of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and tried to feed her three young children. Her account of daily life stunned the world with its honesty and its simple, moving artistry.
