And if there’s no one waiting on you back home, rest assured: here, we’re expecting you. Whether you’re a visitor or a future neighbor, the door to Town Hall is open. It has been since 1891.

Warmly,

Everett Holloway Mayor, Town of Pine Hill Falls

The Book About Our Town

A novel by MARLINX

On his thirty-fifth birthday, Alan Walter, a lonely network technician, takes a shortcut his GPS suggests and ends up in a small Maine town that isn’t on any map. In Pine Hill Falls, everyone knows his name. They give him a house, a job, a woman who seems to have loved him forever. Everyone smiles all the way up to their eyes, all the time. And every night at 3:12, the townspeople walk barefoot into the street.
