Beth Macy, PAPER GIRL: A Memoir of Home and Family in a Fractured America
Description
New York Times bestselling author and journalist Beth Macy chats with Zibby about PAPER GIRL: A Memoir of Hope and Family in a Fractured America, an essential, searingly poignant reckoning with the changes that have rocked her beloved small Ohio hometown. Beth describes her mother’s final days after the 2020 election and her journey back home to understand how division, disinformation, and economic decline tore families and communities apart. She also delves into what’s left of local journalism, how education and opportunity have eroded for working-class Americans, and what it takes to rebuild trust, compassion, and hope in a polarized nation.
