The Anchor Hocking A glass Company, once the world's largest manufacturer of glass tableware, was the base which Lancaster's contemporary society was built. As A glass House unfolds, personal bankruptcy looms. With access to the company and its market leaders, and Lancaster's residents, Alexander shows how financial executive took hold in the 1980s, accelerated in the 21st hundred years, and wrecked the company. We follow CEO Sam Solomon, an African-American leading the nearly all-white town's biggest private employer, as he will try to rescue the company from the brand new York private equity firm that chosen him. On the other hand, Alexander should go behind the moments, entwined with the lives of residents as they wrestle with heroin, politics, high-interest lenders, low wage careers, technology, and the new requirements of American life: people like Brian Gossett, the fourth technology to work at Anchor Hocking; Joe Piccolo, first-time director of the total annual music happening who discovers the city depends on him, and it, for salvation; Jason Roach, who police force believed might have been Lancaster's biggest drug supplier; and Eric Brown, a local football hero-turned-cop who involves recognize that he can't ever arrest Lancaster's real problems.
