520    $a In a secondhand vehicle she christens "Van Halen," Bruder hits the road to get to know her subjects--transient older Americans who call themselves "workampers." From campground toilet cleaning to warehouse product scanning to desert reunions and the dangerous work of beet harvesting, Bruder tells a compelling, eye-opening tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy--one that foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, she celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive.
