Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance

5.0

A voice from a large but mostly silent community and an extremely important perspective. Anyone who grew up below the poverty line, especially as a part of the white working class, and has been lucky enough to be upwardly mobile will recognize aspects of herself, her family, or her childhood friends not only in J.D.’s story, but in his persistent fears, discomforts, and anxieties.
