John Morabito Releases Two New Books About a Young Man Making His Way Through the Sixties - Published by Dog Ear Publishing
Two new books - The Lower Farm and The Upper Lake - are released by author John J. Morabito addressing the challenging Sixties.
Indianapolis, IN, January 31, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The sixties were a time of great social changes. Young people rose up to protest the Vietnam War and to challenge the establishment in general. Hippies were going barefoot and eating health food while taking all kinds of mind altering drugs. It is against this backdrop that we meet young Johnny Greeneyes, a young drifter who is heading south towards New Mexico from San Francisco to make a new life for himself.
In The Lower Farm by author John J. Morabito, we meet the cast of interesting characters that drift in and out of Greeneyes’ life during his travels. One night Greeneyes sleeps in the “cardboard hotel” next to a homeless man, another night he shares the bed of a beautiful and successful woman, he even spends a night in jail accused of a rape he did not commit. As Greeneyes heads towards his destination “The Lower Farm,” a hippie commune, he finds himself struggling with the label “hippie” and all it entails. Ultimately the tensions between locals and the hippie community will come to a head and Greeneyes lands in jail again accused of murder.
In the second novel from author John J. Morabito, The Upper Lake, the story of Greeneyes continues. The year is 1969 and Greeneyes has returned to San Francisco and works unloading cargo ships. When he loses his job he scours the want ads and finds an employment opportunity up north in Mendocino County. As he hitchhikes his way up north, he meets an interesting young man with a guitar named Buckwheat. The two become friends and Buckwheat astounds Greeneyes with his gift for music. Together the two men hitchhike up to The Upper Lake where they meet a wide array of other drifters. Life is serene and relaxing in this remarkable forest haven but Greeneyes cannot understand what secrets are haunting his friend Buckwheat.
The Upper Lake is a story of adventure, friendship and music. The drug scene has spread out even more and young people everywhere find themselves dependent on mind altering drugs. When Buckwheat confides in his friend Greeneyes, the two friends share a bond that will last a lifetime. Eventually each will find the freedom he seeks.
The Upper Lake and The Lower Farm are compelling stories set in one of the country’s most infamous eras.
