The Paisley Tree House

By David Andrew Westwood

Sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll ... and a distant place called Vietnam. 1968 is shaping up to be a tumultuous year in America, though in Topanga Canyon, northwest of Los Angeles, little of the tumult is visible. Freaks coexist with straights and bikers, the sound of dulcimers and the smell of weed is in the air, and young men quietly disappear to serve in a war in Indochina. One Topanga family embodies the conflict sweeping the nation---the Sobieskis. But unlike most, it's parents Maddy and Bret who are laid-back hippies, and elder son Jackson who perversely yearns to prove himself in battle. Middle children Sundown and Robbie are, like their parents, well entrenched in the counterculture, while young Charity just tries to make sense of everything. Soon, the family's ties are tested by the worst upheaval they can imagine. And at the center of it all is the paisley tree house.
