Sweetgirl: A Novel

From the publisher: "With the heart, daring, and evocative atmosphere of Winter’s Bone and True Grit, and driven by the raw, whip-smart voice of Percy James, a blistering debut about a fearless sixteen-year old girl whose search for her missing mother leads to an unexpected discovery, and a life or death struggle in the harsh frozen landscape of the Upper Midwest." One bookseller paired this with Hillbilly Elegy as a flight for those interested in reading more about rural and Rust Belt poverty.
