The Akron anthology / edite...
"We are storytellers, by instinct and necessity. We know that we are descended from the best of times--a century ago Akron was the fastest growing city in America--and the worst of times. A generation ago Akron was the first notch in the Rust Belt. And these are stories to tell. We tell them because they have substance: the tales of a great rise and a great fall and a gritty fight back toward grace. And because they are not well known beyond our own borders. That's why the stories in this book are important, because when stories are shared, they give our lives meaning and they give our lives dignity: 'We are here, we are here'"--The introduction
