HOMERVILLE
by Ken Bradbury, 2005
This book is a series of snapshots of the intriguing residents of a small Illinois town in years gone by. Each chapter displays fascinating stories of the lives, and deaths, of the inhabitants of this small-town America. “It’s an affectionate look at the astoundingly peculiar people I’ve known,” said Bradbury. “Nowadays we medicate or relocate or otherwise ‘cure’ our local eccentrics. Frankly, I yearn for the days when they walked the streets in all their unconventional glory. I think that anyone who’s ever lived in a small town will recognize the types and, perhaps, miss them like I do.” $11.95 -
