Hidden America by Jeanne Marie Laskas

This book shines for its informative, often witty, and also heart-warming view of those who keep the wheels of our country turning. Hidden America takes interviews from the people that play a part in running our every day lives, and shines light on the unsung heroes among us. Whether it’s a migrant labor camp in Northern Maine, to a traffic control tower at America’s busiest airport, to the misshapen stench of a California landfill, Jeane Marie Laskas uses vibrant and revelatory prose, to bring to life those who go overlooked. I loved this book for its breadth, its humor, its humanity, and its fierce hold of authenticity.
