This fascinating memoir of growing up “hillbilly” and being part of the white working class takes you into an invisible and forgotten segment of the U.S. culture. Hillbilly Elegy is a story about love, loyalty, conflicting cultures, the struggle to survive, and the effect it has on the people who live it. J.D. Vance brings this world vividly to life and I felt like I was right there with him and his memorable family while reading this riveting memoir. You will not soon forget this book!
