The plight of working-class families, and the women who quietly raise them, take center stage in a new novel set in 1950s Ohio.

Classified as fiction but rooted in reality, The Daughters of Erietown spans generations and reflects the gender inequality, class struggles and racism through the experiences of one Midwest family.

Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Connie Schultz talks about her latest work, and the working class hardships and the hometown that shaped her.
