Deeply affected by her relationship with her father, the end of the war brings with it more challenges and obstacles.

After thirty years of living in the one square mile of Jewett City, a pastor/journalist decided to fight negative perceptions of his hometown by spending a year interviewing 120 neighbors and visitors whose lives intersect his own. In the process, Adam Bowles discovered a beautiful diversity and the untold stories of faith, family and friendship that makes this New England town shine.

Now, in what is part memoir, part call-to-action, Adam shares ten community-building lessons he uncovered as he ventured out his front door to do something radical — take an interest in others.

The spontaneous, on-the-street interviews capture dreams that transcend… Read More
