Focusing on the experiences of a Scots-Irish family, this memoir explores the impact of social class on the lives of rural Americans transitioning to urban life between 1950 and 1963. Through personal recollections and analysis, it highlights the struggles of 22 million individuals who became part of a lasting white underclass amid the postwar shift from agriculture to consumerism. The narrative delves into the challenges faced by gun-owning, uninsured, and underemployed communities, providing a poignant look at their often heartbreaking journey.
