"Middle Class Heroes: Voices from Boston's Suburbs" is a collection of essays and articles written by Steven Rosenberg, a Boston Globe reporter and columnist. The book focuses on the impact society, economy and technology has had on people in the suburbs. The anthology is sectioned into themes that are woven into daily lives. These subjects - ranging from family to food - are listed as chapter titles, and loosely pull together remnants of vanishing neighborhoods, professions and traditions. They are also dispatches on work, ritual, war, fantasy, poverty, and death. Take a walk with Rosenberg, a longtime Boston journalist, at the dawn of the millennium as he finds middle class heroes at work, in neighborhoods, on beaches, in houses of worship and sleeping on the streets.
