O Little
Town of Donuts

2022
O Little Town of Donuts, by
screenwriter Ron Peer with Mitzi Lynton, is a sweet-hearted
story about good feelings, love, and Christmas cheer. Retiree Jerry DeShazo is
driving to Chicago for Christmas when a car accident strands him in the
charming small town of Suttonville, Texas. After getting the news he’ll be in
town for a few days waiting for his car to be repaired, Jerry’s first stop is Libby’s
Donuts with his new friends Emily, the girl he swerved to miss and hit a
tractor parked too close to the road instead, and her mother, Maria. In the
shop he meets the lively Libby, running in a special mayoral election against a
descendent of the town’s founder, George Sutton.
At
first Jerry is seen as a harmless eccentric. He gives cards to everyone he
meets with The Gift of Love printed on one side and a poem on the other.
His talent for garnering friends quickly makes him Suttonville’s most popular
guest. But Sutton—whose tractor George hit—sees Jerry as a threat to his
mayoral aspirations. All the while Jerry is sharing his secret to life around
town; send love to everyone, even yourself, and everything will work out for the
best.
O
Little Town of Donuts gets
to the heart of what Christmas should be: a celebration of our neighbors, our
communities, and even ourselves. A kind of love letter to humanity, person by
person. It is loaded with eccentric characters—an angry newspaperman, a
kind-hearted Sheriff, a bitter businessman, a donut shop owner with a past. But
its heart is Jerry. A guy who loves everyone, kind of a Santa Claus figure,
with the joyful mission of bringing love and happiness to anyone who will accept it. O
Little Town of Donuts is a perfect holiday read that will brighten even the
darkest day.
