Roots, Rainbows & Truth: The North County Anthology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798358008571)

North St. Louis County, Missouri is a place of childhood memories and familial roots. Its location near the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers sparks imagination and fuels aspirations. It is the place of decades-long school rivalries, church picnics, and fish fries.

It is also a place hungry for equity and justice on many fronts, yet holds space for hope even in the worst of times. It is a place of promise and Promise Zones. It is a place ripe for investment that never quite seems to fully manifest.

In "Roots, Rainbows, and Truth," North County writers, poets, and artists showcase their amazing talent and highlight snippets of life, the neighborhoods, memories, landmarks, etc., from the place they call "home." They bare their souls in pieces like, "Half-Mile Prayer," and speak raw truths in, "Will You Feel Safer?" and "Remember to Pull Yourself Up by Your Bootstraps."

Witness moments of authentic creativity and organic artistic identity through the art and words of those who live, work, play, and are shaped by North St. Louis County.
