Set in Yellow Springs, Ohio, the novel brings together neighbors whose lives meet around a shared concern about a divided country. Olympia, an eighty-year-old retired doctor, joins fellow activists at the Peace Corner, while a widower, a teenager, and a delivery driver each face questions of purpose, voice, grief, and anger. The story connects local confrontations with national crises, tracing how everyday choices test the meaning of courage, compassion, and conviction. Community action and the place of small acts of care and resistance are central to its portrayal of civic engagement.

Book overview

"A feel-good book for Progressives!"

-Ed Davis, author of Here Where We Stand: The Shawnee Springs Stories

 

In Yellow Springs, Ohio-a town shaped by the Quaker values of social justice and activism-a handful of unlikely neighbors find themselves drawn into the quiet, daily work of resistance.

 

Olympia, an eighty-year-old retired doctor, stands at the Peace Corner with her fellow activists, refusing to look away from a country growing more divided. Around her, lives intersect: a widower searching for purpose, a teenager finding her voice, a delivery driver carrying grief and anger he barely understands. As tensions rise-from local confrontations to national crises-their choices ripple outward, testing what it means to act with courage, compassion, and conviction.

 

Set against the rhythms of a real American village, Peace Corner is a story of community in action-where small acts of defiance, care, and connection become a powerful force for change.
