Publisher's Synopsis
This book is based on the actual arrest of author Marlys J. Waters on September 24, 2016 at age 71 during a verbal altercation with county law enforcement in the small town of Nemaha, Iowa where she grew up. The circumstances are so ridiculous that Marlys had trouble controlling laughter mixed with rage while trying to explain what had happened and what the solution should be. A Sac County Deputy Sheriff tried to close the case. Marlys disagreed to ignoring a situation that put Nemaha resident's lives in danger due to an unnecessary obstacle placed on a public street. Contained within is not only the short story and resulting circumstances leading up to her arrest but over twenty years of stories where she has tried to maintain the peace in the tiny town where she grew up.
