So much for the American Dream, if you were the offspring of shop workers enjoying an escape from the rural, racist South, following in Mommy and Daddy's footsteps.
Come spend a summer in Flint, Michigan, with one of the families GM forgot about. In Fli-City the issues don't end with toxic water; only the strong survive. Sometimes we had to play the cards we were dealt like it was the hand we wanted, which is the essence of true resilience.
