Contemporary Novels

Are You Now or Have You Ever Been?

The Hollywood blacklist and the Red Scare hunt for Communists shattered careers and left scars that last. Liza Jane still has a few and they emerge when her heirs try to untangle a will that requires burial in her own oak grove

In the face of the Vietnam War and a culture violently remaking itself, Ellen and Jerry navigate anti-war riots, the draft, a back-to-the-land commune, and women's rising fed-up-ness, to stumble finally not exactly to solid ground but to a place to breathe.
