ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance is a personal account of growing up in poverty in the Rust Belt, rooted in Appalachian traditions. The memoir explores the struggles of the white working class through the author's own experiences with family instability, addiction, and the challenges of social and economic hardship. Vance delves into the psychological impact of this environment and his journey towards achieving the American Dream, while still grappling with the legacy of his upbringing. The book offers insights into the unique culture and values of this often-misunderstood segment of American society.
