Iolana is working her dream job. She is a dancer aboard a cruise ship. This is the dream job most people never get. She gets attention just because she's a dancer in the evening production shows. Everyone wants to meet her and get to know her. This is a far cry from the small-town life of Crescent, VA where she came from. Suddenly, the world is seized in a pandemic that changes everything for everyone. Iolana can't be reached by her mother. No one back home in rural Crescent is acting normally. There are wildlife threats, simmering resentments between the townsfolk against the recent city slicker transplants, and a gun-toting neighborhood loner. Now stranded aboard a large Petri dish for the virus responsible for the global lockdown, Iolana yearns for her quiet life back home in Crescent. Come experience life in Crescent, VA as Iolana's family works to locate their daughter enjoy meeting the neighbors, the workers, the small business owners, and the farmers of this little piece of Americana.
Read the stories of the colorful residents of Crescent, VA. One of the last rural areas of America.
