About the book
Sarah Smarsh grows up in a working-class family in Kansas, witnessing decades of economic and social transformation in the Great Plains. With poetic prose and sharp reflection, she weaves personal stories together with political analysis, exploring how poverty, industrial agriculture, and political neglect shaped her community.
Smarsh offers a rare portrait of rural America that goes beyond stereotypes, revealing the dignity, resilience, and complexity of lives often invisible in the national narrative. A personal testimony that functions as both social critique and tribute to those who work the land.
