Pagan Time

In her compelling memoir, Micah Perks recounts the journey of her parents, who in 1963 embarked on a mission to create a school and utopian community in the mountains, accompanied by their newborn. As the school began to serve at-risk teens, Micah and her sister grew up amidst the challenges of idealism and community dynamics. This heartfelt narrative not only celebrates the spirit of the 1960s but also offers a critical examination of the complexities and unintended consequences of those aspirations on children and families. Through her reflective lens, Perks captures a transformative era that continues to resonate in our culture.
