Stranger in Town: Discover the Hidden Truths of Rural America
In the heart of the American heartland, where the cornfields stretch for miles and the small towns seem frozen in time, there is a world that most of us never see. A world of poverty, addiction, and despair. But it is also a world of resilience, community, and hope.

J.D. Vance's Stranger in Town is a powerful and moving account of one woman's journey into this hidden world. Vance, a Yale Law School graduate and venture capitalist, grew up in Middletown, Ohio, a town that has been hit hard by the decline of manufacturing. She returned to her hometown after college to work as a lawyer for the Legal Aid Society, and she quickly learned about the challenges that her neighbors faced.
In Stranger in Town, Vance tells the stories of the people she met during her time in Middletown. There is Bob, a recovering addict who is trying to rebuild his life; Sarah, a single mother who is struggling to make ends meet; and Kenny, a young man who is trying to escape the poverty that has trapped his family for generations.
These are just a few of the people whose lives Vance chronicles in Stranger in Town. Through their stories, we learn about the challenges that rural Americans face. We learn about the poverty, the addiction, and the despair. But we also learn about the resilience, the community, and the hope that exists in these communities.
Stranger in Town is a powerful and moving book that will open your eyes to the hidden world of rural America. It is a book that will challenge your assumptions and change your perspective. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
If you are interested in learning more about the real America, then I encourage you to read Stranger in Town. It is a book that will inform you, challenge you, and inspire you.
