Ash Valley: The Promise of the Land

By Guy Maynard

In this honest, often funny, sometimes painful, accounting of the communal "back to the land" movement of the early seventies, newly married idealists Ben and Sarah Tucker set out with their varied collection of long-haired freaks to find a place where they can build a countercultural utopia. From the East Coast they journey into the bucolic southern mountains of Oregon. Arriving at the beautiful and remote Ash Valley, they begin exploring what it means to live your values as they struggle to live off the land, navigate turbulent relationships, and chart their future together.

Are they up to the challenge of realizing the promise of the land?
