Covina, California, in the 1960s is a clean, white place to live justtwenty-four miles east of Los Angeles. The maze of three-bedroom, two-bathhousing tracts is the perfect place for a respectable undercover agent for theState, his wife, teenage son, and two daughters. But beneath the veneer ofnormalcy lies the truth of a violent, psychopathic father, an alcoholic wife,their pacifist son who is sent to war, and their two daughters—prime candidatesfor a cultural revolution that is gathering recruits with every toke. House of the Moon is a haunting andultimately triumphant memoir about coming of age during the decade that changedthe world. From encounters with Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and other legendsof rock ‘n roll, to loaded shotguns at home, sexual violence in the streets,and flying high on drugs just to get by—this fast-paced memoir brings to lifeDonna’s quest to change the world—only to find herself changed by the times.
