Despite fueling a century of American progress, the people at the heart of coal country are being left behind: suffering from unemployment, the opioid epidemic, and environmental crises often at greater rates than anywhere else in the country. Are Appalachia's troubles are just a taste of what the future holds for all of us? Jeff Young and the journalistic collective Ohio Valley ReSource offer a searing on-the-ground perspective of an often-overlooked region that is also a bellwether for the nation at large.
