Confluence follows two families converging to explore new ways to relate their lives to work, care, and money. Their seemingly ordinary decisions ripple through the community until a small town is transformed. Competition, cynicism, fear, and greed were gradually washed away. Residents instead adopted trust, cooperation, and equality as the core values by which to live. The two families' children, childhood best friends, marry and have two children of their own. The rivulets of their lives flow through a town called Jubilee where new parents take years of leave to care for their children; where every family can attain their needs; where those who wish to work are able, and pay is equitable; where none live in mansions or in tents. All of which may sound Utopian, until you read the story of how small decisions gather into extraordinary change. Afterward, you may wonder why we aren't all moving in the same direction, or creating our own Jubilee.
