Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth by Sarah Smarsh

5.0

An intimate portrait of a part of the US I rarely see portrayed. The best part was the writing style - beautiful prose, yes, but the author writes as if telling her story to her unborn daughter. She speaks to her daughter with a protective and empathetic love that I felt wrapped up in, too.
