Description

A Village Looks Ahead is a work of fiction by Jerry Apps, published in paperback by Little Creek Press in 2025. Its subtitle, Reviving a Town, Rekindling a Spirit, sets out its concerns: a village working out how to grow and renew itself while holding on to what matters to its people.

The shop description points to a close-knit rural community where tradition and progress pull against each other. Readers follow residents as they handle social tensions, local decisions and the uncertainty of change, with a clear focus on rural life and local governance. It suits anyone who enjoys character-led stories about ordinary people shaping the future of their own town.
