"HAYMAKER" BY ADAM SCHUITEMA  (2015)

In a political culture infused with debates about personal liberties, the role of government, and even the definition of freedom itself, Haymaker tells the story of an isolated Michigan town that becomes the flashpoint for some of the principal ideological debates of our day. When a libertarian organization selects the town as its flagship community, hundreds of its members migrate and settle within the town's borders. The resulting clash with local townspeople is violent and impassioned, even as the line that divides the two sides increasingly blurs.Haymaker is a story about the failure of best intentions and the personal freedom of individuals to do good or to harm.

This witty and politically charged novel will certainly appeal to Michiganders and Midwesterners, but will also interest those looking for an entertaining fictional account of a situation that could plausibly play out in one of the many small, remote towns in the country.
