This book became a run-away New York Times bestseller, and with good reason. J.D. Vance explores the crisis of poor, white America by telling his own story of growing up in the Rust Belt of Ohio and an Appalachian town in Kentucky. It’s a page-turner. Vance’s story is fascinating and his insights into ‘hillbilly’ culture provide an important perspective on many small places in America today.
