<i>We Take Care of Our Own</i> traces the evolution of Bruce Springsteen's beliefs, beginning with his New Jersey childhood and ending with his most recent works from <i>Springsteen on Broadway</i> to <i>Letter to You</i>. The author follows the singer's life, examining his albums and a variety of influences (both musical and non-musical), especially his Catholic upbringing and his family life, to show how he became an outspoken icon for working-class America; indeed for working class life throughout the world. <br>
