In How to Live in Ruins, Lee Chilcote unfolds what happened when he and his wife bought a townhouse in Cleveland's Detroit Shoreway neighborhood right before the 2008 foreclosure crisis.

Bridgett Davis: The World According to Fannie Davis: My Mother's Life in the Detroit Numbers
Wednesday, December 11, 2019, 7pm
~bimonthly~
This month JumpStart Principal Gloria Ware will moderate a discussion of Bridgett Davis' moving memoir, The World According to Fannie Davis.

In 1958, the very same year that an unknown songwriter named Berry Gordy borrowed $800 to found Motown Records, a young mother from Nashville, Tennessee borrowed $100 from her brother to run a Numbers racket out of her home. That woman was Fannie Davis, Bridgett M. Davis' mother.

A daughter's moving homage to an extraordinary parent, The World According to Fannie Davis is also the suspenseful, unforgettable story about the lengths to which a mother will go to "make a way out of no way" to provide a prosperous life for her family -- and how those sacrifices resonate over time.
