But For the Grace of God

Publisher's blurb:

Take a look around. This is what people don’t want to see when they think of progress. They don’t want to think of the lives that are swept aside to make way for the glittering new edifices. They don’t stop to wonder what memories fall with the crumbling of the walls that stood there before, or if maybe those buildings were more than just bricks and mortar…if maybe they were a community.

It ends now. Keep your money and your promises of a better future. Take your lawyers and your smooth talking representatives with daggers in their smiles and get your ass out of our neighbourhood. We’re staying, and nothing you can do is going to move us.
