Hillbilly Elegy

single word of my manuscript literally
dozens of times, offered needed
feedback (even when I didn’t want it!),
supported me when I felt like quitting,
and celebrated with me during times of
progress. So much of the credit for both
this book and the happy life I lead
belongs to her. Though it is one of the
great regrets of my life that Mamaw and
Papaw never met her, it is the source of
my greatest joy that I did.
