Population: 485- Meeting Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time (P.S.)

Welcome to New Auburn, Wisonsin, where the local vigilante is a farmer's wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives (both of whom work at the only gas station in town), and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers.  Against a backdrop for fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights, and smelt feeds, Population: 485 is a comic and sometimes heartbreaking true tale leavened with quieter meditations on an overlooked America.
