''Scratch Beginnings'' is a book by Adam Shepard, a graduate of Merrimack College, about his attempt to live the American Dream. It was conceived as a refutation of the books ''Nickel and Dimed'' and ''Bait and Switch'' by Barbara Ehrenreich. ==Background== While Shepard states that his story is not politically motivated, he did intend it to be a rebuttal to Barbara Ehrenreich's books ''Nickel and Dimed'' and ''Bait and Switch'' on a socio-economic level. He writes, ''"Ehrenreich attempted to establish that working stiffs are doomed to live in the same disgraceful conditions forever ... my story is a search to evaluate if hard work and discipline provide any payoff whatsoever or if they are, as Ehrenreich suggests, futile pursuits."''〔( Author Adam Shepard Undertakes Journey to Chronicle an 'Average Joe's' Search for the American Dream ) ''Scratch Beginnings Official Website''.
