What people are saying

George Elliot Clarke

“The plain-spoken, visionary journalist Scott Milsom reminds us here that the health of the spiritual infrastructure of civilization depends on the vitality of rural communities. Their souls are ours. In this era of urban imperialism and global shrinkage, Milsom’s book voices the works of real people living small-is-beautiful dreams.”

Muriel Duckworth

“A guided tour of more that thirty Nova Scotia communities who tell their stories with an intimate knowledge and deep appreciation–in difficult times, well-told tales that reach your heart.”

Stephen Kimber

“Essential reading for anyone who wants to know what life is really like in small-town Canada–and wants to understand the magnetic pull of that life and lifestyle.”
