Product Description How do you survive with integrity and hope when your marriage, your corporation and your community are disinte­grating? This is the challenge Lily faces as her unemployed husband despairs and moves into the basement, her automotive company prepares to file bankruptcy, and the country plunges into an economic meltdown. In a community where thousands of people have lost their jobs and their homes and their hope, Lily searches for the faith she needs to endure and to forgive. Words Falling Like Water provides a look at the American automotive industry as it runs through the heritage of a family that has worked for the industry for three generations; a family that helped build the mighty automotive companies and now is caught up in their demise. Ultimately, Lily s journey leads to one question: Is the American Dream dead?
