A Detroit Girlhood: Growing Up Poor in One of America's Wealthiest Cities - Paperback
Details
by Katherine Sadler (Author)
Adeline Scott grew up poor in urban Detroit during the 1920s and 1930s. As her family struggled to meet basic needs, she felt deeply the classism around her, but she also felt a sense of broader community in a neighborhood that offered moments of both grief and joy.
Reckoning with the hand she was dealt and doing her best to care for her parents and siblings while maintaining her own independence and curiosity about the world and her place in it, Adeline always persevered. Her story is emblematic of many who grew up in Depression-era America. While intensely personal, her experiences are universal and relatable.
