Description
Dar Williams presents an impassioned account of the fall and rise of the small American towns she cherishes. As a touring musician, she has seen these communities struggle, but also thrive in the face of postindustrial identity crises. In this book, she muses on why some towns flourish while others fail, examining elements from the significance of history and nature to the uniting power of public spaces and food. Drawing on her own travels and the work of urban theorists, Williams offers real solutions to rebuild declining communities.
