About this audiobook
“The People in this book have achieved a range of successes, from modest to celebrity. They are from Hill Country and they’ve become successful both because of and in spite of what it means to be Appalachian in America.” –The Author
Success in Hill Country is a collection of oral histories told by entrepreneurs, artists, educators, doctors, and athletes from Appalachia who have achieved the American dream. Utilizing the power of the mind to overcome obstacles, and positively influenced by their mountain culture, these individuals tell their inside stories of success. This positive message of their success in Hill Country was written years before Hillbilly Elegy's honest portrayal of the working class culture one must face in this segment of the country. Topics include:
…the mountains of southwest Virginia are not only beautiful, they have brains.” --Adriana Trigiani, Bestselling Novelist
