Town Name
In the tradition of Garrison Keillor's Lake Woebegon books and Carl Hiassen's highly-successful South Florida series, comes a light-hearted and satirical look at a small Illinois town on the brink of being swallowed up by the world's largest discount retail outlet.
A modern folk tale, Town Name follows Cecilia Beaumont as she tries to put a stop to the buyout. Unfortunately, the other residents are so thrilled to have an opportunity to finally move out that they just don't care. As Cecilia assists the mayor in shutting down the city, she races to uncover the long-buried secrets of the town before the whole place is covered in pavement. Attempts remove the century-old Town Name curse fail, and her nascent relationship with a young retail executive only serves to confuse matters. As the days and hours wind down, it seems that all hope is lost. Or is it?
