Summary:
"A
memoir
of a city, an industry, and a dynasty in decline, and the story of a young artist's strugle to find her way out of the ruins. Frances Stroh'searliest memories are ones of great
privilege
: shoping trips to London and New York, lunches served by black-tied waiters at the Regency Hotel, and a house filled with precious antiques, which she was forbidden to touch. Established in Detroit in 1850, by 1984 the Stroh Brewing Company had become the largest private
beer
fortune in America and a brand emblematic of the American dream itself; while Stroh was coming of age, the Stroh family fortune was estimated to be worth $700 million. But behind the beautiful facade lay a crumbling foundation. Detroit's economy colapsed with the retreat of the automotive industry to the suburbs and abroad and likewise the Stroh family found their wealth and legacy disappearing"--Publisher's description.
