Nothing seems to change in Eden Hill, Kentucky, and that's just fine with Virgil T. Osgood. He's been content to raise his family and run the only service station in town. But when a new station is set to open right across the road from Virgil's pumps, he suddenly faces obstacles in his career, his marriage, and his self-worth that he's never even dreamed of.
Cornelius Alexander wants his new Zipco station to succeed and help establish a strong foundation for his growing family. As long as he follows the Zipco guide, he's sure to be a success—and prove his father wrong.
Reverend Caudill wants to be a conduit for grace in his town, but that grace is challenged by the changes sweeping through in the early 1960s. For the sake of this small town, Virgil and Cornelius must learn to get along, but how do you love your neighbor when his very presence threatens to upend everything you hold dear?

      Starred review from June 1, 2016

      Welcome to Eden Hill, KY, 1962. Local gas station owner Virgil Osgood feels the acute pain of change when a Zipco chain opens across the street. His wife of 14 years takes magazine quizzes and finds their marriage lacking. Meanwhile, those unwitting harbingers of social and economic transformation, Zipco proprietors Cornelius and JoAnn Alexander, await a new baby. Using a small Southern town as a microcosm of the larger world, Higgs nails the feel of the early 1960s when the world teetered on the brink of a monumental shift in how people lived. He touches upon the beginnings of the feminist movement, big business, and the transition in social norms. But there is one thing that isn't altered--the need for people to come together in faith and love. VERDICT Higgs's first novel will resonate with baby boomers everywhere as his characters struggle to cope with the revolutions of the tumultuous 1960s while holding on to the reassurances of the past. Recommended for fans of domestic fiction.
