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

challenging emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

A tough read, but a book I’d recommend to almost anyone. It speaks to the Midwest in an honest and difficult way, and offers a refreshingly clear and riff-raff free view on poverty, politics, and the impacts of both. The last couple of chapters is especially impactful.
