The book is a coming-of-age story related to my grandparents' and parents' generations. I enjoyed listening to the stories of how my parents lived as teenagers and young adults, the skillset that they had which helped them make a way for themselves when they arrived in the City of Detroit, Michigan, in the fall season of 1952, a City which had at that time a population around 1.8 million people.
Many people, like my parents, left small towns in the deep South, wanting a better opportunity for work and living. Education and a chance to build a better life for their children caused them to press their way to the big city.
