The River Runs Deep

Beth Bilgarro hugs her friend Juan Derby Sr. as a thank-you after Juan helped push the wheelchair that Beth uses to get around from the community garden by the Oaks of Rightness old shelter to Beth's house. Both Beth and Juan volunteer at the community garden. That day Juan spent a morning planting row after row of greens while Beth sat on the wheelchair nearby and talked smack with him.

Monroe is a small town half way between Detroit, MI and Toledo, OH. Its biggest claim to fame is being the headquarters of Lazy Boy Corporation. Lazy Boy no longer manufactures furniture here. It imports it from China. Two paper mills and a number of car factories (including Ford) used to operate in the area. They are all gone now. Jobs that are still available in the area are low paying and mostly in the service industry.
