This book is incredibly accurate. I grew up just north of Middletown&the grandchild of “hillbilly transplants” from Kentucky. One papa moved north after WW2 for factory job & another always said he worked one day in a coal mine & left for Chicago. I‘ve watched family struggle with drugs -lost some to it. & the domestic abuse carry through the generations. It is odd that even though I‘m an Ohioan I still feel such a connection with eastern Kentucky
