Monrovia was a failing city, economically, socially and morally out of touch with a changing America. Just three decades later, this small California municipality was being hailed as an All-America City, a model community whose successes were being studied and emulated by towns across the country. This is the story of that amazing transformation, the re-launching of this once troubled community into a new and better era they called the Monrovia Renaissance. Here for the first time are the dramatic, comedic, ironic and cautionary tales of a town in the throes of change -- progress, preservation and petty personal politics in a great little American town!
