Jennifer Toth is a journalist and the author of Orphans of The Mole People, The Living: Stories of America's Children in Foster Care, and What Happened to Johnnie Jordan?: The Story of a Child Turning Violent.
Thousands of people live in the subway, railroad, and sewage tunnels that form the bowels of New York City. This book is about them, the so-called mole people, living alone and in communities, in subway tunnels and below subway platforms. It is about how and why people move underground, who they are, and what they have to say about their lives and the “topside” world they’ve left behind.
