Audible Original Fiction by Robin Yocum.
Jimmy Lee Hickam grew up dirt-poor in the mountains of Ohio, born into a family of troublemakers and convicts. Still, he was able to leave the area and become James L. Hickam, a successful journalist in the big city.
This story begins with the adult James interviewing the poverty-stricken folks of Appalachia for a news story, and then explores his past. I really liked the story and the characters; I did wish that the author had either returned us to adult James at the end, or else begun with Jimmy Lee. The beginning of the story with the news interviews seems oddly tacked-on.
Still, a good story!
