Acid Acres is a work of literary fiction set in rural Connecticut between 1968 and 1970. In a narrow sense, it is the story of individuals and their personal relationships, but in a wider sense, it is also the story of a new generation--the so-called Counterculture. In startling prose and stunning realism, Acid Acres accurately recreates the spirit of a brief time in American history when young hearts could go their way, to paraphrase a popular tune of the time.Acid Acres is not a book filled with happy people living in happy times, although it has its many moments of joy, frivolity, tenderness, and love. Moreover, it is certainly not a book for anyone offended by explicit language, promiscuity, and casual drug use. Rather, Acid Acres is a book for those of every generation on the verge of adulthood who are confused by the world they see and the choices they must make. It is also a book for those of a much older generation who would dare to revisit the freedom and excesses of their youth.[About the Author]DP Mellon lives in the Rocky Mountains of Montana.
