Homegrown - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

“A seed knows. A seed can tell when the springtime sun first climbs into the winter sky. A seed can tell the difference between the time for rest and the time to grow.” Homegrown is the first volume of the “Land of the Evergreens” trilogy which aims to provide a cultural memoir of the 1980s, that transitional decade midway between the 1960s and the new 2000-millennium. Portrayed in these books are the Marijuana sub-culture, Cocaine for Arms exchanges with Central America, Horse Racing Scandals, and Old Growth Timber Battles. All of this and more, inescapably permeated by the deep emotional after-effects of one generation’s experience of the lost imperialist war in SE Asia. Highlighted by the challenges encountered in one man’s fugitive life underground, this was an era characterized by the confusions of facing a future where relationships unpredictably ebb and flow, and political changes and shifts become the norm. This first book focuses on the people and conflict involved the so-called Pot War of ’84, and its effects on rural western Oregon.
