"A Little Gleam of Time" offers a window into the life of native son Joe Sexton and the changes and eventual fate of a small Midwestern town - Sumner, Iowa. As much a story of growth, expansion, change and the inevitable decline of both the town and the surrounding family farms, "A Little Gleam of Time" follows Joe Sexton's journey from youth, veterinary school, and a young love interrupted by war to the fifties, raising a family, and living life in small-town America.
