The Siege of Salt Cove

In a quirky small town, residents are outraged by the Massachusetts government's decision to replace their beloved wooden bridge with a concrete structure, prompting them to consider secession. Seventy-two-year-old Jessica Stoddard documents the unfolding events, though her account is colored by her infatuation with the much younger rebel leader, Toby Auberon, who has returned to perfect his invention. As tensions escalate from bureaucratic bullying to armed occupation, the story unfolds as a humorous and poignant tale of rebellion and community spirit.
