Wealthism describes a set of attitudes directed at the wealthy by the nonwealthy. "Wealthism includes those actions or attitudes that dehumanize or objectify wealthy people, simply because they are wealthy. The main attitudes of wealthism are envy, awe, and resentment. . . . Wealthism differs from the other 'isms' in that racism and sexism are perpetrated by those who have power, whereas wealthism is directed at those who have power."

Storytelling has power to awaken memory and reveal truths. In this collection of oral histories, memoirs and photographs, those who speak their truth remind us of what must not be overlooked: the value of loving caregivers who nurture, as if they were mothers, the children they have been hired to help raise.
