Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis

Edit: I plan to keep my original review -I may re-read it at some point. I feel like the person I see on the news and the person I read in this book are 2 different people. (granted that was like 2016) I don't want to rate this low on purpose - so, I'll just clear my review until I get around to another look at this.

2/5 J.D. writes about growing up a hillbilly, a life with dysfunctional family and declining social and economic area. He goes to talk about his early life and views of his culture and how he managed to grow up successfully away from this life. Interesting to read about his perspective. I recommend the audio book because it was read by the author. ~Ashley
