Publisher's Synopsis
How a Family of Five Found Their Own Way Through the Social Upheaval of the Sixties and Seventies.
Journey to Sunshine Mountain is the story of a traditional couple who, with their three young children, became caught up in the social politics of poverty and racism, the counterculture movement and spiritual awakening of the sixties and early seventies. Their unique and audacious journey began when the couple married in Dallas. As their life unfolded, they lived in Princeton, Switzerland, Africa, New York City, inner city Detroit, and finally rural California.
Journey to Sunshine Mountain is more, much more, than a memoir. It provides thoughtful and penetrating glimpses from their wanderings in Europe and community development work in the newly independent nation of Kenya to a more in depth involvement in the social, political, and counterculture storm that tore through America. It is the story about how these events changed and shaped their lives and brought them to their homestead on Sunshine Mountain.
