City folk pass through one stop light towns often not understanding their charms. They shudder to think of ever living in such a hick address, away from the glitter, glamour, and sophistication of the American metropolitan sprawl. Surprisingly, while rural America is an endangered species, the people that dwell there face many of the same joys and heartaches as city folk. Only the context is changed.
In the Snare of the Fowler is a reminiscence of life beyond the stoplight. The stories of the people-at Little League games, Easter Sunrise Services, funerals, high school graduations, county fairs-shed endearing light on life in our small towns.
A city-dweller tells these remembrances when by a great surprise he became a parish pastor in just such a town. Rather than being horrified by the tiny dot on the map, he fell in love with the people, and the life in a one-stoplight town.
