520    Vance, a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, 
       provides an account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town
       that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of 
       America's white working class. The decline of this group, 
       a demographic of our country that has been slowly 
       disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with
       growing frequency and alarm. J. D. Vance tells the true 
       story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels 
       like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The
       Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J.
       D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love," and moved 
       north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the 
       hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They 
       raised a middle-class family, and eventually their 
       grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law 
       School, a conventional marker of their success in 
       achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family 
       saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is 
       only the short, superficial version. Vance's grandparents,
       aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, 
       struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-
       class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy
       of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so 
       characteristic of their part of America
