The Seventh Generation - Paperback

Shot from the cannon of the turbulent 1960'2, Ernie the Pro and his Great Lakes hometown are on trajectories that move anything but straight ahead into a new century. "The Seventh Generation" traces the interconnected paths of a popular mayor who struggles with his tragic flaws; three boys on different paths to manhood; and the fortunes of their city, the embers of whose past 'golden age' will give way to the possible birth of the next one. DiGrazie explores the longings of a generation or more of Americans who left the cities and towns of the Rust Belt for greener pastures. More than a political novel and more than a tale of one blue collar city's journey to find its place in post-industrial America. "The Seventh Generation'" explores how people and places grab us, become precious to us and never let us go.
