Thank you net galley for this book.

So I applied for this book totally by accident when browsing. After being approved I was a little nervous because this is wayyyyy out of my comfort zone. Let me say I am so glad I did though. This memoir was so powerful to read. We have the author who is educated and has a degree that finds themselves in need of a job. The pay rate at the steel mill was great and she went for it. This is a look not only at a life lived, and a life loved but into a very gritty and tiresome job. I loved hearing the stories the author shared about both aspects. I would highly recommend this!

A fascinating look at a small town at working in a steel mill the people the day to day work.When the author well educated needs to find a job a well paying job she decides to apply for work at the steel mill.She and her father drove by it throughout her childhood and now home after numerous higher education degrees she needs work a paycheck and when she discovers how well the mill pays she applies,
This is an intimate look at the authors life her personal life her setbacks her friendships .This was an eye opening revealing look at the life of a steel mill worker both in the mill and in daily life.This was a brilliant read highly recommend.#netgalley#Flatironbooks
