Customer Reviews

An easy read that will help you decide on small-town life.

I am acquainted with the author, so I expected a good book. What I found was a superb book. This is a very thoughtful work about the essence of small-town living. It has helped me greatly in thinking about my own proposed move to a small town in the West. Although the book offers a great many practical suggestions, there is much more than "how to make friends" or "how to find a job." This book has helped me think about whether my character, personality, and values are suited for small-town life. With frank comments about all aspects of small-town life, it has helped me understand, for example, that gossip is the other side of neighborliness. It has helped make my expectations more realistic--and that in turn will lead to greater satisfaction with the move. The writing is friendly and conversational, and the organization is very helpful. Without hesitation, I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in small-town life. Susan Bury, Washington, DC
