Quotes by Sarah Smarsh (?)

“Society鈥檚 contempt for the poor becomes the poor person鈥檚 contempt for herself.”
― Sarah Smarsh, Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth

“But the American Dream has a price tag on it. The cost changes depending on where you鈥檙e born and to whom, with what color skin and with how much money in your parents鈥� bank account. The poorer you are, the higher the price. You can pay an entire life in labor, it turns out, and have nothing to show for it. Less than nothing, even: debt, injury, abject need.”
― Sarah Smarsh, Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth

“Maybe it鈥檚 no coincidence that Parton鈥檚 popularity seemed to surge the same year America seemed to falter. A fractured thing craves wholeness, and that鈥檚 what Dolly Parton offers鈥攐ne woman who simultaneously embodies past and present, rich and poor, feminine and masculine, Jezebel and Holy Mother, the journey of getting out and the sweet return to home.”
― Sarah Smarsh, She Come By It Natural: Dolly Parton and the Women Who Lived Her Songs
