Liz Sherman, a hardworking Canadian, doesnt like what she sees in todays society.

Much of the world caters to the well-off, and most average and low-income people find themselves shopping at second-hand stores, where prices continue to increase.

Meanwhile, there is more anxiety than ever about obtaining worldly goods, with stress being taken on for appearancesnot by necessity.

But perhaps nothing is more frustrating than insurance companies, which have turned cheating hardworking people out of rightful claims into a science. In Targeted, the author shares how she battled insurance companies for almost nine years to get the settlement she deservedand she also examines the myriad other ways that society abuses everyday people.

When Shermans legal battle finally ended, it was a sad victory, as she owed relatives and friends money and had suffered tremendous amounts of stress. She shares her inspiring story and argues that Canadians need a regulating agent to eradicate insurance company-sponsored fraud in this book.
