Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth

bySarah Smarsh

Focused on a Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth, Heartland brings Sarah Smarsh's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of biography & autobiography and social science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Heartland leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved.
