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

4.0

I'm glad I read this - reminds me of some people I know but don't spend a lot of time with. The author was able to overcome some serious odds to get a college education and a more stable life than he grew up with. Very inspiring, but the "lessons learned" or ways to help others like him are limited and rely on people making better decisions, wanting a different lifestyle, taking responsibility for their actions, and also being given more opportunities.
