Heartland: Sarah Smarsh & Chelsea Clinton

We’re elated to host an exclusive discussion of journalist Sarah Smarsh‘s highly anticipated book, Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth, with the author in conversation with Chelsea Clinton.

In their starred review, Publisher’s Weekly calls Heartland “(c)andid and courageous … Smarsh’s raw and intimate narrative exposes a country of economic inequality that has ‘failed its children”. Barbara Ehrenreich, the author of Nickel and Dimed, says “this book is so much more than even the best sociology. It is poetry—of the wind and snow, the two-lane roads running through the wheat, the summer nights when work-drained families drink and dance under the prairie sky.”

Following the discussion, copies of Heartland will be available to purchase and be signed by the author.

Advance tickets will be available until 10am on September 23. If the event does not sell out in advance, additional tickets will be available to purchase in person on the morning of the event.

All proceeds go towards funding the lifesaving services and advocacy work provided by Housing Works.
