{"product_id":"pagan-time-micah-perks-9781582431475","title":"Pagan Time","description":"With little more than a run-down Jeep and their newborn baby in tow, author Micah Perks' parents set out in 1963 to build a school and a utopian community in the mountains. The school would become known as a place to send teens with drug addictions and emotional problems, children with whom Micah and her sister would grow up. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis complex memoir mixes a moving celebration of the utopian spirit and its desire for community and freedom with a lacerating critique of the consequences of those desires -- especially for the children involved. How could the campaign for a perfect home and family create such confusion and destruction? The '60s, for many, became a laboratory of hope and chaos, as young idealists tested the limits of possibility. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMicah Perks has cast her unflinching and precise eye on her own history and has illuminated not only those years of her childhood, but a wide-open moment that marked our culture for all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Micah Perks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1582431477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781582431475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Counterpoint LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.59h x 5.81w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/09\/2001 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2001 pg. 1007\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 2076\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2001 pg. 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 223","brand":"Micah Perks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985202217215,"sku":"9781582431475","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_241a98bb-8b3d-4cc1-b1b2-4fd6e4f13c09.jpg?v=1683276161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pagan-time-micah-perks-9781582431475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
