Hillbilly Elegy

The story is told from J.D.’s point of view. Some scenes show his early years, when he moves to Ohio with his mother Bev and grandmother Mamaw. They move in an attempt to better their son’s employment opportunities. Bev brings in unstable boyfriends, drinks a lot, and sometimes treats her son cruelly. Mamaw is strong and tries to steer J.D. in the right direction. These early scenes are intercut with J.D.’s later years, when he is a recent law school graduate hoping to land a job at a reputable firm. Just before J.D. is scheduled to attend critical interviews that could determine his future, his sister Lindsay breaks the terrible news that Bev overdosed and is admitted to the hospital.
