In a collection of beautifully written vignettes telling of family
history and bar stool interviews and stubborn beliefs and
resignation, Mark Phillips gathers a collage of the forgotten
Americans―the Americans that urbanites didn’t know existed,
pollsters couldn’t define, and politicians sought to target. The
Alleghenians featured, the author among them, feel left adrift.
They are not politically active; they are more concerned with eking
out a living after factories have failed than with the intricacies
of the Affordable Care Act.

Love and Hate in the Heartland goes beyond talking heads and
superficial media portrayals to tell stories of humanity, strength,
resilience, generosity, and self-reliance. Faced with a bleak
outlook, these noble ideals mingle with resignation and misguided
bitterness. Written in evocative and graceful prose, it gives faces
to the voices we heard in November 2016.
