HTML:<p>"Kelly Pekar narrates the audiobook with a clear and no-nonsense manner, perfectly embodying Goldbach's own narrative voice on the page." — <i>BookRiot</i><br /> <b>This program includes a bonus conversation with the author.<br /> A young woman's debut memoir of grit and tenacity, as she returns to the conservative hometown she always longed to escape to earn a living in the steel mill that casts a shadow over Cleveland.<br /></b><i>Steel is the only thing that shines in the belly of the mill...</i><br /> To ArcelorMittal Steel Eliese is known as #6691: Utility Worker, but this was never her dream. Fresh out of college, eager to leave behind her conservative hometown and come to terms with her Christian roots, Eliese found herself applying for a job at the local steel mill. The mill is everything she was trying to escape, but it's also her only shot at financial security in an economically devastated and forgotten part of America.<br /> In <i>Rust</i>, Eliese brings the listener inside the belly of the mill and the middle American upbringing that brought her there in the first place. She takes a long and intimate look at her Rust Belt childhood and struggles to reconcile her desire to leave without turning her back on the people she's come to love. The people she sees as the unsung backbone of our nation.<br /> Faced with the financial promise of a steelworker's paycheck, and the very real danger of working in an environment where a steel coil could crush you at any moment or a vat of molten iron could explode because of a single drop of water, Eliese finds unexpected warmth and camaraderie among the gruff men she labors beside each day.<br /> Appealing to readers of <i>Hillbilly Elegy</i> and <i>Educated</i>, <i>Rust</i> is a story of the humanity Eliese discovers in the most unlikely and hellish of places, and the hope that therefore begins to grow.<br /> <b><br /> A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books<br /></b><br /> "RUST has elements of Tara Westover's <i>Educated...</i> The mill comes to represent something holy to [Eliese] because it is made not of steel but of people." - <i>New York Times Book Review</i></p>.
