A part of Belt's City Anthology Series. "These pieces . . . stand as proof of the determination and optimism of a city that just won't quit." A collection of essays and personal narratives, Happy Anyway: A Flint Anthology captures a confounding, contradictory city, proving that Flint is far more than just an industrial town picking itself up after a big company has moved out or the site of a devastating public health crisis. The stories collected here delve into the actual lives taking place within the city?the crime, joblessness, homelessness, and hopelessness, but also the happiness and resilience. They are about who is able to truly lay claim to being "from Flint" and what it means to finally leave?or to stay, even when bikes, jewelry, or love continually disappear. From both established and new writers, you'll find stories here that include: - Home ownership in Mott Park during the 2008 housing crisis - The history and mysteries of Glenwood Cemetery - What the Flint water crisis means for parents trying to raise young children. Edited by Scott Atkinson, a former reporter for The Flint Journal, the 24 essays collected here shed new light on a city that has perpetually been defined by outsiders. As Atkinson notes, "These are stories from the middle. They are stories of triumph not because anything has been won, but because they are stories of Flint's continued fight." A candid, unflinching look inside a city whose history tells a truly American story.
