Week Five--July 14--Home to Harmony

A thread running through many of Gulley's stories is the connectedness of people in small town life. People like Frank can be "saved" by the opportunities presented in everyday relationships, as when he overcame his desperate loneliness and feelings of hopelessness after the death of his wife when he became involved in helping the Iversons and their twin baby girls. What other characters in Harmony are similarly engaged with their friends and neighbors? Do you think these close relationships are typical in small communities?
