Description
Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis
J.D. Vance's deeply moving memoir tells the story of his family's struggles and America's problem with generational neglect. Born into a world where his family's experiences were often misunderstood, Vance recounts the complex legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma that shaped his childhood. He also shares the story of his grandparents, who gave everything to provide a better life for their children, and his own journey to overcome the odds to graduate from Yale Law School.
This powerful memoir offers a compelling explanation for the struggles faced by white working-class America and is a riveting account of one man's quest to understand his place in the world.
