| One century ago, her ancestors had founded Weaver, Kansas; but now the place is dying. Town matriarch, elderly spinster Madeline Weaver, detests the slow erosion of her heritage. She loathes the way people drop spouses, as if they are tossing the garbage. Finally she hates the constant movement of people; nothing seems stable except the decline of her hometown.
Madeline has decided to do something to save Weaver. She buys up all the property and holds a contest in which she gives away land one lot at a time. Her plan is simple, to control who lives in her town and how they live. At first the winners feel kind towards their benefactor; but as the rules are enforced, many wonder if a mean-spirited dictator runs their lives. However Madeline has a past too that she has kept secret; and that is about to be revealed, leading to either redemption or humiliation depending on how she reacts. This is an interesting character-driven tale as Madeline and an assortment of supporting characters are at the Crossroads of their lives while coming together in Weaver, Kansas, to start over. Madeline is an intriguing protagonist; as the septuagenarian tries to cling to her heritage, not expecting that part of it is a secret she prefers to leave concealed because it shames her. Fans will enjoy this fine look at people struggling with difficult decisions, as no option is all right or all wrong with most containing pros and cons. | |||
