Quite different from Hiding in the Spotlight, yet this new book contains the subtle and sophisticated writing Greg Dawson is known for.  Greg and wife Candy interviewed more than 120 people across the country who were in the vanguard of the baby boom generation in middle America.  This is the collective memoir we’ve all been waiting for. A great read on how the dawning of the Age of Aquarius affected the average American coming of age in that hopeful yet turbulent time.

Greg and Candy Dawson explore how three very different individuals came together just to smoke a little weed during the summer of 1968.   Why it ended in tragedy centers on a gifted young English teacher who had to hide his homosexuality.  A desperate search for companionship led 23 year old Chuck Walls to make tragic mistakes involving his high school students.  Four years and 120 interviews later, the result is this Collective Memoir spanning the years 1966-1968.  It tells the story of average Americans trying to make sense of those hopeful yet turbulent times--The Sixties.
