Terry Holsinger answers “This is a hard read. I am 53 years old...”

Atheena asked this question about Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis:

This is a hard read. I am 53 years old and just finished this book yesterday. I have cried all day yesterday, all night woke with nightmares and am crying now. I know this is for questions. The only question I have is... does it ever get ok?

Terry Holsinger I am a notoriously slow reader (at 77 years of age) but read this book in four days. Fascinating! Good read... Happy you finished through your tears. …moreI am a notoriously slow reader (at 77 years of age) but read this book in four days. Fascinating! Good read... Happy you finished through your tears.
