In Jim Rohrer’s October 12, 2018 column, he highlights Our Towns as, “an uplifting book that left me believing that the American grit,   determination and ingenuity of which we have always been so proud are still working for us.” He then provides his own examples from his hometown of Evergreen, CO.

Additionally, he writes:

“As I read the many examples of success, I became more hopeful. The couple made multiple visits and were able to actually see the progress between visits. The signs of backbone and character are repeated throughout the book in all parts of our country.”
