    A touching and moving memoir of a people and a place
  

*by T***W on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2023*

"Hill Women" typically will draw comparisons to "Hillbilly Elegy" but for me it is a far better, more enjoyable, and less problematic book. The author comes from Eastern Kentucky and movingly describes her family's recent history and how their lives have all changed and evolved in recent years. But she also questions the nature of what it means to identify as a hillbilly while touching on a people and a place obviously near and dear to her heart. This isn't the "poverty porn" of some books wallowing in the squalor of Appalachia, but an honest look at how hard it is to live there, what their lives are like, and how the culture of the area is changing and evolving. And the picture isn't always pretty. Along the way she weaves in stories of her work providing legal assistance and how the court systems and health care systems make the lives of people in Appalachia worse and to a sense trap them in their circumstance. Along the way she explains how she came to leave her community and how wrenching it was for her. And her returns home aren't as satisfying as she hoped as she increasingly becomes aware that while she is of that place she increasingly is removed and less a part of it. Along the way you get tales of the strong women in her family, and she renders them so vividly you come to feel that you truly get a sense of who they are and how resilient and truly amazing they are.If anything, "Hill Women" is life affirming if also unsettling about the future of Appalachia and her people. But the author is right about politicians pandering to voters about how they are going "fix" Appalachia by retraining the unemployed, reviving the coal industry, and bringing new jobs to the region. None sought to understand the unique character of the region and the challenges there first, and as a result, every effort has failed or come up short. "Hill Women" is a haunting honest book that helps you to understand a greatly ignored part of our country that could use a little love and kindness.
