This is an engaging read about a large Detroit family whose family home is in a bad section of town and has fallen into disrepair. The underlying thread throughout the book is what is to be done with the house. The siblings all have varying ideas which ultimately stem from their current circumstances-some better than others. There is a whole host of interesting characters throughout the book and a backstory that tells how it all came to be for this family. It's a well written book - makes you so happy for the power of family.
