In the small town of Stony Creek, there are no mountains-only endless prairies. The town's little church is a gathering place for families to catch up on news and learn more about God. As Christmas approaches, the seventy-year-old pastor hopes to bring his congregation together to celebrate. But everything changes when tragedy strikes. After spooked horses tip a wagon and claim the life of a little girl who might have been saved if they had a town doctor, the close-knit-residents must rely on their steadfast faith to come together and help one another as they battle heartache and guilt. With a lofty goal of making their town a welcome place for a doctor, they come up with a great idea. But will their prayers and actions actually work to convince a doctor to open a practice in Stony Creek? Winter at Stony Creek is the heartwarming tale of a small prairie town's residents as they band together in faith, hope, and determination after a tragedy prompts them to seek a resident doctor.

Brenda Parker begins to remedy this by looking at the effect of new urbanism, "creative class", and welfare reform discourses on women in Milwaukee, a traditionally progressive city with a strong history of political organising.
