Opis

You've heard the slogan "WV Almost Heaven." Possum Crossing is a story about what the narrator refers to as a "real" heaven here on earth. It is populated by mountaineers who are hardworking and patriotic citizens of Possum. Like the state as a whole, Possum has seen growth from the frontier to boom times, and having experienced whiplash from boom to bust, it is now on the cusp of a new boom. Despite adversity and abandonment by politicians, Possums, as residents of the town call themselves, do not give up on the mountain state and are poised to bring prosperity and new glory to her. The story of these proud people is a story shared by millions in this time of changes occurring with the speed of light. Possums do not abandon West Virginia for greener grass elsewhere, but they remain to bring about a rebirth of better times.
