Tom Lake

This book paints a wonderful portrait of humanity through the lens of another work, "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder. You can see the parallels between the average every day existence of most Americans, the characters of one of the greatest plays of all time, and the characters in this book. It is breathtaking, heartbreaking, and well worth the read!

This is a simple story. No explosions. Only a few deaths. It's a story a mother tells her daughters. It's wonderful in its simplicity.
