When the count council voted to apply for a grant for a road through the mountain to the quiet town of Wardville, it split the county down the middle. Half of the county wanted the road and half of the county wanted to stay the remote little haven from progress that it presently was. There are many characters to follow through their thought prosess of yes for or no against the road. Then came 2 deaths and several other so called "accidents". The story was long and drawn out but somewhat interesting to see the reasoning of the characters and wether the council would vote yes or no for the road in the end. Not my favorite book but interesting story line.
