I can think of What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia by Elizabeth Catte off the top of my head, but there's probably relevant books I actually own that I'm not remembering.

Upon further research, Charms for the Easy Life by Kaye Gibbons as well as Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison would work for this.
This was the category that sold me on attempting this challenge. I'm just starting to look at options, but am already intrigued by these two:
Moon Women
and
Over the Plain Houses

Good to hear, Kathleen :) I hope you enjoy yourself during the challenge.
I read Crystal Wilkinson’s The Birds of Opulence in 2018 and recommend it.I don’t know what I’ll pick for this task, but some books I’m considering are:
Matewan Before the Massacre: "Politics, Coal and the Roots of Conflict in a West Virginia Mining Community" by Rebecca J. Bailey (nonfiction);
White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg (nonfiction);
Storming Heaven by Denise Giardina (fiction);
Something by Wilma Dykeman. Could be The French Broad.
Over the Plain Houses by Julia Franks (fiction);
The Dollmaker by Harriette Simpson Arnow (fiction)
