When the Mayor of Greedsville gets too greedy, it's up to The Mechanics to save the day. These tiny creatures are used to tinkering and repairing, but when it comes time to save the town The Mechanics of Mechanicsville are the biggest heroes around. The Mechanics of Mechanicsville is the story of how a small town, North East of the city of Richmond Virginia, nestled amongst lush forests and green fields got its name. In Old Mechanicsville stands a stone windmill, now a landmark in the village. The windmill is decorative and driven by an electric motor. That windmill is said to house the mystical creatures known locally as The Mechanics! The Mechanics of Mechanicsville is a story filled with magic and fun, beautifully brought to life by the bold and creative illustrations of Mechanicsville's own Jamie Cosley. And remember, Mechanicsville really does exist!

The story takes place between 2012 and 2020. The national debt in America continues its climb into the stratosphere. Runaway inflation and devastating unemployment are causing millions to find themselves without work and on the verge of insolvency. Homelessness is looming in their future. Religious prosecution is ramping up as prohibitions on religious symbolism and prayer in public places continue to escalate and stimulate acts of violence towards Christian and Jews. Then a glowing trench suddenly and mysteriously appears in the Amargosa Desert in the southwestern United States. The trench is discovered by a jet pilot flying maneuvers over the area. Many begin to believe this is a message from God, and the press dubs the trench THE Line in the Sand. This trench spurs a secret, powerful and mysterious 'think-tank' group to recruit twin brothers, Ben and Robert O'Neill, to lead a massive mission aimed at providing relief to persons suffering from the deteriorating situations taking place in America. This mission leads millions on a path to wholeness and is reminiscent of the innovative spirit of our ancestors as they moved westward in the early days of America. The many tales of individual struggles, triumph and humaneness will capture your heart. The turn of events that take place and the results of this mega mission will stun and stimulate your imagination.
