"Happy Anyway: A Flint Anthology is Flint at its funniest, its weirdest, and its saddest. A collection of essays and personal narratives, the book, edited by Flint writer and Belt contributor Scott Atkinson, captures a confounding, contradictory city, proving that Flint is far more than the common narrative of an industrial town picking itself up after the big company that fed it left, or the site of a devastating public health crisis. Happy Anyway delves into the lives and stories within the city {u2014} what it was like to be a child on the east side; how it feels to be a parent today, without clean water; who is able to truly lay claim to being g2sfrom Flint;g3s and what it means to finally leave {u2014} or to stay, even when bikes or jewelry or love keep disappearing."--P.
