A lovely five stars. This was a community story through and through. Heartwarming is all I can think of right now. 

There was one side character that I thought would have a bigger part towards the end. Maybe he is in some way a representation of the "silent bigoted American". I don't know, that could be a reach...but I'm keeping it at a 5/5. Great read! I'd recommend it highly!
