The last undiscovered place
"With warmth and a keen eye for the nuances of history and place, David K. Leff offers this affectionate and insightful portrait of his adopted home of Collinsville, Connecticut, a village that looked perfectly ordinary until he fell prey to its rhythms and charm. The town taught Leff a new way of seeing his environment, and through this process he discovered what many Americans long for: a sense of community."--Jacket
