Dear Bookclub,
Like a clan gathering from their enclaves near and far(Jan!) to be together in Kentucky, a huge turnout descended upon Lynne's beautiful backyard (hillbilly analogies end here), moseyed into the dining room filling plates with lovely food and eventually settled in the inviting living room to ponder J.D.Vance's story. Mountain Dew not invited.

Agreed that Mamaw and Papaw get the top awards for J.D.'s success, Lindsay and Usha the best supporting loved-ones, we marveled at the thoughts and actions of the hillbilly culture and yet debated that strife can and does occur at any socio-economic level. J.D.'s discovery of and success in a much higher socio-economic level is not really a new story; the colorful personal stories surrounding that journey created the unique read. As readers expecting explanation to larger movements in this country's attitude, Vance did reveal to us the distinct flavor of the undercurrent that elected President What's-his-name.
Lynne went above and beyond in researching and presenting ideas for an upcoming selection. We processed and whittled......
