Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J. D. Vance Book Summary Readtrepreneur (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book, but an unofficial summary.)

A tale of how hard it is to move up without going back down once again. Hillbilly Elegy portrays a family without money in their pockets and doing anything in their hands to escape from the clutches of poverty. Through a lot of struggle, they managed to have a grandchild who would graduate from Yale Law School. Everything appeared to be fine, but the ghosts of the past still haunts the protagonist who is trying to move up while supporting his family.

"Psychologists call it 'learned helplessness' when a person believes, as I did during my youth, that the choices I made had no effect on the outcomes in my life." - J.D. Vance

A memoir of a man who suffered a lot to get to where he is. It serves as an analysis of a culture in crisis but also, as proof that hard work pays off and that it doesn't matter how bad your situation is, you can always move forward. A very touching story with a bit of humor and a lot of interesting anecdotes. Many people have lost the opportunity to touch the American dream, J.D Vance talks all about in this moving memoir.

P.S. Hillbilly Elegy is an extremely touching book which serves as an eye-opener about the cultural decline of the United States.
