But it might as well be the story of your town, or mine.It’s the story of Leroi and Woody, best friends since childhood. Their moms, Sharon and Eloise. Matt and Lewis—soldiers and newspapermen. Sylvester and the punks at Food Not Bombs. Angie and the bikers at the Lucky 13. Stasia and Arne and the true believers at Nation Awake.It’s the story of America and all the things that have been happening here since the Europeans arrived. It’s about then and now, invasive species and stolen myths, the town square and the public library, Joann Fabrics and somewhere called the Discipline Cafe. It’s about a printing press, twelve-point Cheltenham Regular No. 64J, and old symbols made new. It’s about how we’re fighting the same battles, year after decade, caught up in cycles of violence, addiction, politics, and resistance. And it’s about how we live with it all, live with ourselves, live with each other, and try to keep it moving.This is a story about a community, the quiet light of agitation, and how things don’t change, but maybe people do. Maybe.
