Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance is an examination of what life is really like in Appalachia, the region of the United States covering Alabama to New York. Vance, a former marine and a Yale Law School graduate, chronicles the lives of these poor, white working-class communities who live along the Appalachian Mountains. Vance characterizes these people as "'hillbillies" (a term many people who live in the region claim proudly for themselves).

Vance brings us a gripping account of growing up in a poor Midwestern town. From a broader level, he offers us a unique, penetrating look at the struggles of America's white working class. The timing of his book is appropriateits publication comes at a time the plight of the white working class has been thrust to the forefront of the country's social and political discourse.
