Jake Trickle was a journeyman printer who loved reading, kept to himself and moved restlessly from small town to small town. Then in August 1949 he stepped off the bus in Williamstown, Illinois, and life opened like a flower in spring. He learned to love, to care about a community and to spot a problem in the local political system. But he also learned that "road oil and romance don't mix", through a series of discoveries tumbling one after another that changed lives all over Williamstown--including his. This insightful look at mid-century life in central Illinois will provide a walk down memory lane that touches your heart while it broadens your feeling for people and politics. Jim Nowlan knows what he is writing about, and it shows.Your view of small town America will never be quite the same, but you will be richer in understanding people everywhere.
