A warm, witty Lake Wobegon tale about second chances, small-town pride, and the messy beauty of doing the right thing—even when it’s hard.  
 
Liberty by Garrison Keillor delivers another charming Lake Wobegon novel filled with quirky characters, gentle humor, and the kind of small-town insight only he can write.
 
Clint Bunsen, longtime volunteer and civic optimist, is determined to create the greatest Independence Day celebration Lake Wobegon has ever seen. But plans unravel quickly as he butts heads with the town’s committees, faces unexpected romantic complications, and becomes entangled in personal decisions he’d rather avoid. What follows is a humorous, heartfelt story about love, disappointment, and the stubborn hope that keeps towns—and people—moving forward.
 
As fireworks, parades, and egos collide, Clint must confront what truly matters: loyalty, community, and the hard-earned wisdom that comes from learning when to hold on—and when to let go.
 
Keillor’s writing blends comedy, nostalgia, and gentle truth-telling in a story that’s equal parts funny and heartfelt.
