• Scratch Beginnings: $25 and the Search for the American Dream

17 November 2008, by beyond50 Adam Shepard graduated from college in the summer of 2006 feeling disillusioned by the apathy he saw around him. Eager to see if he could make something out of nothing, he set out to prove wrong the theory that those who start at the bottom stay at the bottom, and to see if the American Dream can still be a reality. Carrying only a sleeping bag, the clothes on his back and $25 in cash, his goal was to have, after a year, $2,500, a working car, and a furnished apartment.

• Scratch Beginnings by Adam Shepard

14 November 2008, by I really enjoy books that give a glimpse into another lifestyle. That’s why I enjoyed Trading with the Enemy, in which Nicholas Maier describes his experience working for Jim Cramer at his hedge fund. That’s why I enjoyed A Million Bucks by 30 by Alan Corey, which was the story of how Alan “overcame a crap job, stingy parents, and a useless degree to become a millionaire before (or after) turning thirty.” When I was asked to check out Adam Shepard’s book, Scratch Beginnings, I agreed.

• Scratch Beginnings (Amy)

30 October 2008, by 221 pages A couple of years ago(before I had a blog) I read Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich. While I learned a lot from that book and I enjoyed Ehrenreich’s sense of humor quite a bit, I was left feeling sad and a little irritated at the premise that the American Dream is dead. Apparently, I am not the only one who felt this way because Scratch Beginnings is in Adam Shepard’s own words: Socioeconomically speaking, my story is a rebuttal to Barbara Ehren

• Book Review: Scratch Beginnings

28 October 2008, by After graduating from Merrimack College in 2006, Adam Shepard embarked on a social experiment about a year later that would change his life. Quite literally, Adam became one of the nation’s poor. Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25, and the Search for the American Dream is about Adam’s voluntary, instant descent into poverty and his slow rise from it. Selecting a city by drawing names from a hat, Adam got off the train in Charleston, South Carolina with $25, his sleeping bag, and the clothes on his

• Scratch Beginnings

24 October 2008, by It’s not every day that you get an opportunity to read and review a book before its publication.  You can imagine my delight when Adam Shepard, the author of Scratch Beginnings, contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in reading his book.  Now technically the book has been around for a couple of years now, as it was originally self-published, but now it’s been picked up by Collins to be published.  In fact since I’ve had the book it’s actually been published and you can now find it at y

• Scratch Beginnings And How The American Dream Is Still Alive

21 October 2008, by One of the coolest things about being a blogger and having an audience is the wiliness of others to offer free things for reviews and exposure. I like books and try and read them whenever I get a chance. If anyone knew me when I was a kid they would probably laugh as I never used to read. One of the most recent books I received was Scratch Beginnings by Adam Shepard. I probably finished Scratch Beginnings in about 3-4 sit down sessions of reading, so it was a quick and very enjoyable read. Ada
