J. D. Vance grew up in the hills of Kentucky. His family and friends were the people most of the world calls rednecks, hillbillies or white trash. In this deeply moving memoir, Vance tells the story of his family’s demons and of America’s problem with generational neglect. How his mother struggled against, but never fully escaped, the legacies of abuse, alcoholism, poverty and trauma. How his grandparents, ‘dirt poor and in love’, gave everything for their children to chase the American dream. How Vance beat the odds to graduate from Yale Law School.

What I thought I knew...

..about 'hillbillys' I now know could be written on the back of a postage stamp.
Besides filling in so many blanks and fleshing out the bare bones lives of mountain folk in a way that was both interesting and informative, JD told his personal story with a sincerity and forthrightness that is mirrored in his guest appearances on longform podcasts.
No affectations, no hyperbole, no candy coating.
It is heartening to realise we are finally going to unvarnished and genuine grassroots people such as this in the White House to reinforce those of his ilk already in Congress and the Senate.
