A clueless big-city guy, dropped out from newspaper work, ends up at a new hippie commune in the mountains in the late 1960s, but his luck holds. As he falls in love with the place, he moves into the local community, where people have a checkered opinion of hippies, but it's the kind of place where people help each other out, even if they don't always agree.

Autorenporträt
Malcolm Terence left his job as a reporter at the LA Times in the late 1960s to go traveling with an avant garde rock band, which he left to help found a large hippie commune in the Klamath Mountains. After a few years there, he moved to the small river towns nearby and joined a large reforestation cooperative. He followed that with work logging, setting up timber sales and fighting wildfires. Along the way, he married a local school teacher, raised a family, and helped the local communities oppose certain timber practices like herbicide use in the forest and over logging. He still writes for regional papers, teaches school, and operates a large garden.
