A True Story That Reads Like a Gripping Historical Novel

It's 1970. The Summer of Love is a distant dream, betrayed by the ripoffs and bad drugs. Jenny Brown, recently escaped from an abusive relationship, stumbles into a utopian community of a hundred people living at a remote Western Massachusetts hilltop farm. Their tales of telepathic communication, past life recall, and apocalyptic messages from disembodied spirits seem ridiculousuntil too many things happen that suggest they might be real.

Relive the true-life adventures, friendships, loves, epiphanies and betrayals that took place in one of the best known 1960s counter-cultural communes as they are vividly brought to life in this riveting account of a mid-twentieth century woman's coming-of-age.

Novelist Jenny Brown has crafted this compelling story using her own memories and diaries, extensive interviews with other commune members, and the extensive coverage of the commune's early years published in contemporary books, magazines, and newspapers.

"A very absorbing story,with a really blazing honesty about it that made it riveting." Diana Gabaldon, 1991 email, referring to an early draft.

"An important work of women's history." Alicia Rasley, author of The Year She Fell.

Autorenporträt

Jenny Brown studied history in graduate school. Her first professional sale as a writer was a biographical piece about Louisa May Alcott's childhood. Years later, her favorite hobby continues to be reading biographies of people who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. She has earned her living in many different ways including performing as a singer-songwriter in Nashville, developing software, and publishing acclaimed nonfiction. She lives in rural Western Massachusetts.

Jenny's characters are often outcasts or rebels. Her heroes have a long way to go before they become the loving men her heroines deserve. Her heroines are strong, adventurous women who take control of their own fate but must do so within the limitations of the society into which they were born. Readers of mainstream historical fiction appreciate that her books are written with respect for the language, history, and culture of the Georgian era in England in which they are set.
