There's a little bit of this small town in all of us - a place apart, ''behind the times,'' inhabited by a cast of characters we seem to have known for years. The sounds, smells, colors, and textures of Sawyerton Springs are within you - an instinctive, almost mystical longing for a simpler time. In Sawyerton Springs, everyday occurrences are assigned a calm purpose. The town has no lawyers - it doesn't need any. The local paper comes out weekly, and everyone already knows what it says. Email, the Internet, computers, faxes, cell phones, microwaves, cappuccinos, call waiting, and caller ID don't exist here. The town has no traffic lights - there aren't enough cars to warrant any. This is a story that reflects upon the seemingly ordinary parts of our everyday lives - and how they are actually extraordinary parts of something much greater.
