About This Book
As the Woodstock Nation collapses in 1970, Jack and Dan, oversexed and underfunded grad school buddies, leave San Francisco for a job renovating a remote mountain retreat owned by Tom, a reputed drug trafficker. Their plan is to accumulate sufficient savings to finance their fledgling writing careers while they enjoy life. To their surprise, the liberated women who come into their lives play a central role in their growth, challenging them to shed self-deceptions, to live and love honestly. Flower and Spring, uninhibited hippie chicks, reject the macho double standard. And there's Pat, the ballsy single mother business woman who intimidates most men with her utter competence. And then there's Alexandra, Tom's restless wife who manipulates men to get what she wants. But there's a price to be paid for an affair. As Jack, Dan and Tom confront themselves and each other because of their relationships with these vivid, unforgettable women, their insights and actions force them to struggle with issues of love and freedom and loyalty and jealousy, triggering their most dangerous emotions and the novel's explosive climax.
