This is a story of life in a southern Indiana town in the late 1960's and early 70's, a place where the villagers struggle to preserve their long held All-American ideals of God, Football, and the Constitution in the turmoil of dramatic social and political revolution sweeping the nation. It is a story of love and hate, hope and despair, heartbreak and happiness, tolerance and intolerance. Felix, a traumatized soldier returning from war and seeking his peace, hitchhikes into town and takes up the mantle of the retiring English teacher and local institution, Miss Harrison, and moves into the abandoned Old Grimme Place a mile or so out of town. He finds his peace in his students, those seeking their own peace in the turbulence that lies hidden beneath the neat neighborhoods and the fertile corn fields and the soothing waters of the Whitewater River that winds through Potato Ridge and disappears around the bend.

Mark McLane spends most of his time in a classroom somewhere, either as a student or a teacher, and like most English majors, had dreams of someday having the time and energy to put into practice what he teaches. That time came, culminating in his first novel, The Impersonators, loosely based on his experiences as a struggling actor and stand-up comedian who paid the bills by teaching orthodox Jewish young men at a yeshiva in Los Angeles. Mr. McLane now lives in Brookville, Indiana where he completed work on Potato Ridge.
