520    "When we meet August "Gus" Molloy on the opening pages of 
       CHEVY IN THE HOLE he's just overdosed at the Detroit 
       restaurant where he works. Shortly after, he packs it in 
       and returns home to his family for another shot at 
       sobriety. There, he meets and falls quickly in love with 
       Monae Livingston, an urban farmer trying to coax a tenuous
       rebirth from the damaged land. As Gus and Monae begin 
       dreaming up an oasis together in Flint, the city's water 
       supply is being quietly poisoned. Woven throughout their 
       story are the stories of Gus's and Monae's families-Gus's 
       white and Monae's Black-members of which have had their 
       own triumphs and devastating setbacks trying to survive 
       and thrive in their troubled city. In 1937, Gus's great-
       grandmother runs supplies to the strikers at Chevrolet 
       while her husband, a luckless salesman, daydreams of 
       riches. Meanwhile, Monae's grandmother, Esther Williams, 
       arrives during the Great Migration to confront the 
       limitations of "GM Crow." One of Esther's sons finds his 
       political voice in the civil rights movement while another
       works at the ill-fated theme park AutoWorld. We watch the 
       families brush elbows long before Gus and Monae ever meet,
       on one now-infamous night, when Keith Moon of The Who 
       drives a Cadillac into the swimming pool of the Holiday 
       Inn. A novel about the things that change over time and 
       the things that don't, CHEVY IN THE HOLE is ultimately a 
       love letter to Flint and the resilience of its people. 
       Throughout, the city reverberates through these families 
       and friendships, which remind us again and again what 
       people need from one another and from the city they call 
       home"--|cProvided by publisher.
