Fiction. "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. "Susan Streeter Carpenter's RIDERS ON THE STORM explores and explodes the shallow stereotypes and hollow myths that persist--on both left and right--about the Sixties and the young radicals who dreamed of, and sometimes fought for, a transformed world. Compassionate but exacting, she creates unforgettable characters, and their political, personal, and sexual ideals and passions are completely human and entirely compelling"--Jeff Gundy.
