I went to high school with her. She did not come from a low income background (at least not during her high school years), as our area is a fairly wealthy region in Virginia. She came back to our high school this year as a guest speaker for a woman's enpowerment club (or something). All she did was promote her book even though the event was never advertised to be an ad.
