Join us as we officially release Growing Up Motor City — a powerful, reflective, and unapologetically honest exploration of coming of age in Detroit. Through vivid storytelling, personal essays, and sharp cultural critique, author Robert D. Alexander-Jordan captures the heartbeats of a city that raised him and the lessons learned along the way.
Whether you’re a Detroiter by birth, by spirit, or by admiration, this book invites you to experience the grit, the grind, and the glory of growing up in the Motor City.
Celebrate the launch with us on May 1st — special release-day bonuses, community reading circles, and behind-the-scenes content will be available at www.woodsy.llc and @thewoodsyllc on all social platforms.
