Synopsis

In the 1970s a group of dissidents set out for New Mexico to establish a commune. This is an autobiographical account of the failure of this attempt by these folks dissillusioned with the values of affluent American society. She explorese the reasons for their failure, many related to their unpreparedness and inability to cope with the soil and with the animals they hoped to raise. But a primary reason was their failure to reckon seriously with sin, whose curse pursues us beyond the range of technological society. She and her family discovered that the way to paradise is not through utopia but through the cross.
