Building on Promise

A wonderfully charming place to liveâ€"that’s what the Midwestern town of Oakenfield had enjoyed as its reputation since its settlementâ€"that is until the influences of the “big city” (Remington) start seeping into this haven as time progressed through the end of the 20th century. That and the notorious “Big Art” Chinsy, who has managed to weasel his way into the mayor’s chair and run the town like it’s his profitable kingdom. True Oakenfielders tell their colorful tales of the unwanted altercations that create enough frustration to challenge the corruption, but will they succeed? Big Art has a formidable machine working in his favor, and those who have bucked his system have failed miserably in the past. Only one person shows enough courage to try. Building on Promise shares that humor, hardship and love that make up a town and a cherished way of life.
