Riders on the Storm: A Novelby Susan Streeter Carpenter
The1960's comes alive in this telling novel
of the years of rebellion and dreams.
"I’ve always wondered why the sixties are so hard to write about.
But Susan Streeter Carpenter proves it can be done with
equal parts insight,generosity, and honesty.
Her evocation of the time is among the best I've seen."
-Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club
