Individuals are alternately betrayed and energized by constant change; families are formed around its promise and strained under its failings. Supported by interesting historical facts, the creative approach engages readers in the experience of this remarkable city and time in American history, and it offers a defense of the glories of a passionate and connected life - one that is increasingly endangered. represent the essence of urban life.
