I am reading Hillybilly Elegy authored by J.D. Vance, vice-presidential candidate of the Grand Old Party (GOP [Republican]). An excerpt from the book’s intro (hardcover sleeve, front) reads, “J.D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love.” Great start I say. These days that is almost mutually exclusive; today this is a shade cinematic. 🫢

J.D. Vance takes the reader on a journey through the brokenness and struggles of the White working class in post World War II America. I go along for the ride and watch him shift gears as we travel.

• Written at the age of 31, before Mr. Vance’s adventure nay foray into the murky waters of bipartisan politics, Hillybilly Elegy does not attempt to persuade the reader one way or the other.

• A brilliant yet simple tale of a young J.D. navigating the troubled waters of life in Greater Appalachia.
• Revealing! In post World War II America, the poor trade in the same currency regardless of demography.

Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩
