Much of what we think of as “the Sixties” actually took place in the 1970s. Younger siblings turned rebel causes into action, wore down opposition, passed laws, opened doors, changed minds. And the music was great.

In the rural West in the 1970s and early 80s, nature-loving nonconformists began to battle extractive industries and acquiescent government agencies with creative tactics. If you want to be for something, be for the Earth.

In Some Greater Awakening new environmentalists glory in their purpose, whether victorious or not.

Thank you for all the good wishes as this novel heads towards publication. I look forward to hearing your comments. Books will be available in December.

Hi friends,
What a rare pleasure it is to write about my own home ground, with its ravaged beauty and heart-rending history.

Some Greater Awakening is a novel of eco-activism and timber wars, set on a remote mining claim in northern California during the hot summer of 1976.

Please visit my website JessicaAbbe.com to reserve your copy of my debut novel!

Thank you for reading,
Jessica
