520 |a This memoir is both a personal story and a portrait of a distinctive New England place - Fall River, Massachusetts, once the cotton cloth capital of America. Growing up, the author's world was defined by rolling hills, granite mills, and forests of triple-deckers. The author, whose mother was Portuguese and whose father was Italian, recounts how he negotiated those identities in a city where ethnic heritage mattered. Paralleling his own account, he shares the story of his family, three generations of Portuguese and Italians who made their way in this once-mighty textile city. 
520 |a A searching portrait of a city battered by the collapse of the textile industry woven into a spirited coming of age story.
