7 Sanctuaries

It was a radical time, filled with promise, hope, and exciting new opportunities. It was a time when people made sure their voices were heard; they changed our world forever. It was thrilling and frightening and challenging. That time was the 1960s.
When facing times of tumultuous transformation, people often seek solace and comfort in safe havens--sanctuaries, if you will--to protect themselves and their loved ones from the stormy world around them. Through it all - the turmoil, the rock music, the assassination of powerful leaders, the civil rights movement, the tent revivals, KKK rallies, desegregation, space walks, the hippies and the war, the little community of Spring Lake grows and flourishes and changes, as does our nation and as does our world. 7 Sanctuaries is a story told in a series of vignettes about life in a small town in the South during the 1960s. They all swirl together in the final vignette in a night of possibility and sacrifice."A well-told tale about a time we cannot afford to forget." - Bonnie Hearn Hill"Careful character development, a socially important plot, and insightful writing combine to make & Sanctuaries a masterpiece of brilliant writing."
