Voices of Nova Scotia Community

A Written Democracy7 From Birchtown and Harbourville, Kennetcook and Oxford, Lincolnville and Orangedale, these stories explore why the people of small communities across Nova Scotia value the quality of life they enjoy. The author ensures that it is the voices of the people who live in these communities that ring truest, allowing both neighbours and those visiting for the first time a better understanding of life in rural and small-town Nova Scotia. “The plain-spoken, visionary journalist Scott Milsom reminds us here that the health of the spiritual infrastructure of civilization depends on the vitality of rural communities. Their souls are ours. In this era of urban imperialism and global shrinkage, Milsom’s book voices the works of real people living small-is-beautiful dreams.” — George Elliot Clarke
