When many Americans think of poverty, they think of people who are not working. Moreover, when they think of social welfare programs, they think of those programs aimed at assisting families without wage earners. However, many of America's poor are the working poor; families with one or two wage earners that are still mired in the depths of poverty. The government has implemented two different programs aimed at providing financial assistance to these Americans: the Earned Income Credit (EIC) is a special income tax rebate for low-income workers which can actually help low-wage workers avoid paying any income taxes and entitle them to a cash rebate beyond any taxes that they have paid; while the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides for the direct distribution of cash payments to families struggling with poverty.

Roberts' target audience, which is basically the audience of romance novels in general, demands a heroine that finds love in the way that Shannon does. That is, the heroine cannot be desperately and selfishly seeking love. Such a pursuit would take much of the heroism out of the character, making her more pathetic than admirable. The heroine must be doing something other than looking for a lover. Here, it was a more universal need, the need for family, that guided Shannon to meet the love of her life. It is Robert's skill as a novelist that allows her to seamlessly connect the more universal need for family and the more female-specific need for a partner which is indicative of romance novels. Thus, Roberts should be considered a novelist first and a romance novelist second.
