- The Strength Of Friendships Is Being Tested By The Times -
After World War II when this suburb of Appleton was forged out of the hills, Marigold was a place where anyone would want to raise a family. It is 1967, though, when free love, LSD, Pop psychology, and Vietnam have begun to wear at the thread that binds body and mind, truth and family. Reading the Bible has been relegated to something quaint that only the previous generation cherishes.
Danny, Barry, Jeff, and King have been Marigold friends since childhood, but the normal chaos supplied by raging teenage hormones has been supercharged by the times, just like the modified cars they drive. A fly-over view of the town does not capture how Barry has no interest in following in the footsteps of his unrelenting doctor father. Nor do you see Jeff's mom's drunken boyfriend who has taken up residence in their house. Danny has never known his mother, Beatrice, but he has purpose and is excited about a Christian awakening in southern California. King just floats through it all.
Tensile Town is an epic and honest story about life and death in small-town southern Ohio. The foundation of American life is cracking as it encounters protests, godlessness, assassinations, and attacks from within, but hope is found, and providence prevails.
