In this superb book, one of America's finest writers of nonfiction takes us inside Home Town, USA -- the extraordinary, and the ordinary lives that people live in Northampton, Massachusetts -- to explore what makes a modern small city a success story.Weaving together a rich array of people and stories, and moving through surprising levels of society -- from old Hamp to new Hamp, to underbelly Hamp. From courthouse to Smith College, and back again -- Home Town shows what goes on under the serene surface of a picture postcard place.Does the kind of small town many Americans once came from, and many dream of going back to, still exist? Kidder says Yes and demonstrates how diverse individuals can create together a code of values which make a town a home. And, Home Town makes you Feel you live there. It is an uniquely American story, a tapestry of neighbors, their successes, their failures, and their love of a place they call home.
