At twelve years old, in On Our Own, they moved with their parents to Toronto. After only a short time, they were left to fend for themselves. Using the 'work skills' their grandparents had taught them as youngsters, they find a way to make their living. To achieve this, they establish a landscaping business - Yard-Boys - using their classmates as workers. With the help of their lawyer friend Thorpe Norville, the business grows and flourishes. In Return to Twin Oaks they are sixteen and have established a reputation of being young entrepreneurs. Now old enough to return to their farm home in Birchwood, they move back to the farm house and the small town of Birchwood. At first, being alone in their grandparents' big old home seems very strange and lonely. On their first trip into town to buy supplies, they are involved in rescuing two pups tossed out on the road by a cruel, uncaring owner. In doing so, they establish their first friendships with the Birchwood veterinarian and his assistant, Ginny. Then, while Jed is at work establishing the Birchwood branch of Yard-Boys, Jessica discovers that someone has been living in the farm house while they've been away and has established a way of getting into the house again. Jessica hides in the attic with the two pups, afraid that the interloper may return. A violent storm occurs while Jessica keeps watch. To her shock and surprise, a dramatic meeting takes place between Jessica and her grandmother's ghost. Pointing the way, Grandmother Oaks sends Jessica out into the storm on a mission that will change her life forever.

Download or read book Communes in America 1975 2000 written by Timothy Miller and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communes in America: 1975–2000 is the final volume in Miller’s trilogy on the history of American intentional communities. Providing a comprehensive survey of communities during the last quarter of the twentieth century, Miller offers a detailed study of their character, scope, and evolution. Between 1975 and 2000, the American communal experience evolved dramatically in response to social and environmental challenges that confronted American society as a whole. Long-accepted social norms and institutions—family, religion, medicine, and politics—were questioned as the divorce rate increased, interest in spiritual teachings from Asia grew, and alternative medicine gained ground. Cohousing flourished as a response to an increasing sense of alienation and a need to balance community and private lives. At the same time, Americans became increasingly concerned with environmental protection and preservation of our limited resources. In the face of these social changes, communal living flourished as people sought out communities of like-minded individuals to pursue a higher purpose. Organized topically, each chapter in the volume provides basic information about various types of communities and detailed examples of each type, from ecovillages and radical Christian communities to pagan communes and cohousing experiments. Miller also takes a step back to look at the prevalence of communal living in American life over the twentieth century. Based on exhaustive research, Miller’s final volume provides an indispensable survey and guide to understanding utopianism’s enduring presence in American culture.
