This a well written book by the daughter of a 1970's "back to the lander." Her parents, along with many other middle class educated anglos, purchased land in Vermont and built a house and had a farm. This book tells their stories and places them in a wider context.
One can interpret this back to the land movement as having failed. Most of the communes died out. Looked at another way, this movement has simply changed form and continues to this day. Organic food and solar panels trace their roots to this period.
The book is insightful, well written and interesting and a great read.
