Life for four friends growing up in rural America is challenged by bigotry, racism, death, and child abuse. Their struggles coming of age are further complicated as they experience their awakening sexuality amid a landscape of parental abandonment and infidelity.

I share about the time in my life I lived in the woods, worked as a firefighter, and met my true love.
I lived in Del Norte, Humboldt, and Siskiyou Counties in California between the years 1976 and 1982. It began when I first left home at age seventeen up until the time my husband and two sons moved away. It was only a few, short years in which I lived there, but that beautiful region of coastal Northern California has always been home to me. Back then, I fell in love with the land and believed I would always live there, but life had other plans for me and I left. I've never stopped wanting to return. |
