Welcome!
I’m glad you’re here, to share stories of the fascinating women of the 1970s.
My debut novel, Welcome to Peace Place, will be published in Fall 2027 by Mandarin Hill Press.
Why the 1970s?
Our country faced:
-
A corrosive war,
-
Political division,
-
Economic upheaval,
-
Ecological destruction,
-
Rapidly changing gender roles,
-
The fight for reproductive rights,
-
Racial unrest and the demand for greater civil rights,
-
A generation gap that left young and old believing in different worlds…
Sound familiar?
In the 60s and 70s, over a million young people dropped out of mainstream society, looking for a better way of life.
They headed back to the land, to grow food, build homes, and live simply in harmony with the earth and each other.
My historical fiction explores how women in the back-to-the-land movement crafted meaningful lives in such complicated times.
Come with me for inspiration, determination,
and some fabulous 70s fun and funk.
Hello! I'm Heather.
