Book Description
Death is a part of life. But Lydi never imagined it would follow her family across the plains from Chicago to the rolling hills of Iowa. Discover the hope and grit of a family as they cope with the loss of more than a father. This book reads like a pre-war biography written through the eyes and ears of a ten-year-old farm girl. Feel the soft, green grass between your feet. Smell the fresh-cut hay warming in the sun. Experience the life of an immigrant family around their farm, at school, and with their neighbors. Discover the delight--and anguish--of a family struggling to build a new home. Learn what it meant to work hard, to trust, and--in the end--to persevere. In a world of suffering and cynicism, Promises to Keep is a stream of fresh water."No matter how difficult things may be, we will not give up."

Book Description
In 1912, white land developers founded Idlewild, an African American resort community in western Michigan. Over the following decades, the town became one of the country’s foremost vacation destinations for the black middle class, during its peak drawing tens of thousands of visitors annually and hosting the era’s premier entertainers, such as The Four Tops, Della Reese, Brook Benton, and George Kirby. With the civil rights movement and the resulting expansion of recreation options available to African Americans, Idlewild suffered a sharp social and economic decline, and by the early 1980s the town had become a struggling retirement community in the midst of financial and political crises. Meticulously researched and unearthing never-before-seen historical material, Ronald J. Stephens’s book examines the rapid rise and decline of this pivotal landmark in African American and leisure history, in the process exploring intersections among race, class, tourism, entertainment, and historic preservation in the United States. Featuring a wealth of fieldwork on contemporary Idlewild, the book also takes a candid look at recent revitalization efforts and analyzes the possibilities for a future resurgence of this national treasure.
