Author Don Wooldridge explores small-town life in his newest title, ‘The Secrets of Clayton County’
Author Don Wooldridge goes from the big city to small town America to examine the passions which make us human in his new book, The Secrets of Clayton County.
Using a 1982 tax law as the basis for an intriguing and layered story,
Wooldridge dives deep beneath the surface of small town life to find
the treasures that lie within.
Sarah
Hunter, a lovely IRS examiner and self-proclaimed city girl, is sent to
a small river town in Iowa to investigate people who may or may not be
tax resisters. Using a system of bartering, the residents of this town
may be trying to avoid paying the government their due – or they may
have found a simpler, more pleasurable way of life.
In
addition to the trying aspects of her profession, Sarah is also stuck
in a romantic limbo; torn between a live-in boyfriend she’s left behind
in Chicago, and not one but three men in the small town of Clayton,
Sarah has decisions to make that could affect the rest of her life. In
the midst of everything, a tornado blows through town, tearing up
everything in its path – including a man who has rescued Sarah from
disaster several times now. As she stays by his side until his injuries
heal, she must determine whether or not the government is using her
knowledge of the small town’s secrets to ruin the lives of those she has
come to know.
An intriguing novel with a less-than-ordinary premise, The Secrets of Clayton County
is a rich tapestry of the things we love and the things we learn. With
a protagonist that readers will be able to easily relate to, and a
story that’s as entertaining as it is engrossing, readers will no doubt
be flipping the pages of this novel furiously, eager to discover where
Sarah ends up.
