After her father came home from his third-shift job, took the garbage out to the curb and was hit by a drunk driver, her life changed. Raechel Anne Jolie’s early life in a working-class Cleveland exurb was full of race cars, Budweiser-drinking men covered in car grease, and the women who loved them.
I sat down via the internet with Raechel Anne Jolie, author of debut memoir Rust Belt Femme to discuss mothers, writing, and politics.
A narrative of strength and resilience, Jolie writes simply and beautifully about growing up poor and other, while also acknowledging the privilege she did have. A story of love and a testament of forgiveness, Rust Belt Femme is a thoughtful and personal examination of class and gender, and how Jolie found her peace with both.
