  White Poverty The Invisible...

  A deacon once approached Reverend William J. Barber II in his church study, asking for help with a young woman’s $50 light bill. Deacons, like this retired Black man in North Carolina, have a long tradition of serving the vulnerable. Barber agreed to help but realized the deacon couldn’t see the deeper issue: the woman worked two jobs and still struggled. This blindness to poverty isn’t a personal failure but a result of societal myths. 
  Barber, inspired by biblical prophets, believes in calling attention to the unseen poor. He has met poor people across America who share their stories, asking not for bailouts but for recognition. Nearly 40 million Americans are officially poor, but this number is misleading. The outdated Official Poverty Measure doesn’t account for today’s high cost of living. 
  Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, with real wages lower than 50 years ago. Wealth inequality has grown, with the richest 1 percent owning more than the combined wealth of 80 percent of the population. Politicians avoid naming this crisis, and myths about poverty persist. Researchers have found that 140 million Americans are poor or low-income, including 66 million white people. Most of America’s poor are white.

  Beneath the sunken archipelago of Verdemer, where merfolk heirs rise in pearl armors against coral tyrants and tide sovereigns command waves from isle ruins, heir Marina rises with a tide of rebel currents, their sovereignty threatened by tyrants who choke the seas with coral chains. The isles, risen in armor vows and command-kissed surges, rebuild the depths—or submerge in tyrannical floods. As they surge through isle-laced reefs and sovereign-bound trenches, risen by tyrant sentinels and wave rivals, Marina's heir grace fuses with rebels' tide fury, unveiling a verdemer legend of emerald ascension. When a chained pearl summons flood krakens, they must rise the sovereign to break the coral. In the emeralds of tide isles, where every wave crashes the chain and every command stirs the deep, their epic rise becomes the archipelago that surfaces the oppressed seas.
