Loren D. Estleman's Downriver is the story of a white family who moves from the suburbs of Detroit to the impoverished town of Bay City in the late 1970s. The father, a car salesman, and the mother, a stay-at-home mom, are the only white people in Bay City, and they quickly become the target of racism and bigotry. The family is forced to deal with the harshness of life in the city, as well as the deteriorating relationships within their own ranks. Downriver is an important and timely story, as it addresses issues of race, class, and family dynamics head-on.; 8vo; $6.50.
