Best Selling Books by Michael Smith

“A book that should be read . . . Smith brings an alchemic talent to describing physical labor.” —The New York Times Book Review “Beautiful, funny, and harrowing.” – Sarah Smarsh, The Atlantic “Remarkable . . . this is the book that Hillbilly Elegy should have been.” —Kirkus Reviews A vivid window into the world of working class men set during the Bakken fracking boom in North Dakota Like thousands of restless men left unmoored in the wake of the 2008 economic crash, Michael Patrick Smith arrived in the fracking boomtown of Williston, North Dakota five years later homeless, unemployed, and desperate for a job. Renting a mattress on a dirty flophouse floor, he slept boot to beard with migrant men who came from all across America and as far away as Jamaica, Africa and the Philippines. They ate together, drank together, argued like crows and searched for jobs they couldn''t get back home. Smith''s goal was to find the hardest work he could do--to find out if he could do it. He hired on in the oil patch where he toiled fourteen hour shifts from summer''s 100 degree dog days to deep into winter''s bracing whiteouts, all the while wrestling with the demons of a turbulent past, his broken relationships with women, and the haunted memories of a family riven by violence. The Good Hand is a saga of fear, danger, exhaustion, suffering, loneliness, and grit that explores the struggles of America''s marginalized boomtown workers—the rough-hewn, castoff, seemingly disposable men who do an indispensable job that few would exalt: oil field hands who, in the age of climate change, put the gas in our tanks and the food in our homes. Smith, who had pursued theater and played guitar in New York, observes this world with a critical eye; yet he comes to love his coworkers, forming close bonds with Huck, a goofy giant of a young man whose lead foot and quick fists get him into trouble with the law, and The Wildebeest, a foul-mouthed, dip-spitting truck driver who torments him but also trains him up, and helps Smith "make a hand." The Good Hand is ultimately a book about transformation--a classic American story of one man''s attempt to burn himself clean through hard work, to reconcile himself to himself, to find community, and to become whole.

In a world spiraling into chaos, Michael Smith finds himself grappling with the harrowing reality of Trump''s re-election and the ominous Project 2025. As martial law is declared and the nation teeters on the brink of collapse, Michael''s warnings come to fruition. Determined to protect his family, he devises a plan to return to his childhood sanctuary in Youngstown, Ohio. Reuniting with his diverse and conflicted relatives, including his cousin Mary, childhood companion Tim, and estranged sisters Alexis and Ashley, Michael leads them to a hidden bunker in the woods. As they navigate the treacherous journey, they confront internal strife and external threats, including foreign troops and domestic militias. In their fortified refuge, they face relentless assaults, betrayals, and the stark realities of a fractured nation. Amidst the turmoil, the family finds strength in unity, drawing on the wisdom of their late grandmother Margaret Mary, whose foresight and resilience guide them. "Return to Youngstown" is a gripping tale of survival, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of a family fighting for hope in the darkest of times. Michael Smith''s narrative is a poignant reminder of the power of determination, love, and the enduring bonds that hold us together.
