Small Town America

The thoughts and actions of many of it’s citizens, form the mechanism which creates a state of anarchy that nearly destroys Drewsport.  This fictional small town in the South, during the late 1930’s, is described in dad’s book, “Bluebell”, with more reality than many want to admit.

In today’s “Counterparts in Literature” post, I’m going to be testing your knowledge of other small towns in America.  Match the story descriptions below with their respective novel and then head on over to the answer page to see you you did.  Ready…Set…Play!

My thanks to Nathan Deuel for the article on HuffPost which provided me with these small town stories.  When you’re pretty sure you’ve got this game won, head on over to the answer page and see how you did.
