Weeding at Dawn: A Lesbian Country Life
by Hawk Madrone
Category: Biography & Autobiography

Swept up in the back-to-the-land lesbian movement of the 1970s, author Hawk Madrone left her fast-track life in San Francisco behind and moved to the hills of southern Oregon. Weeding at Dawn: A Lesbian Country Life is a collection of her personal essays, poems, and creative nonfiction stories, and also includes a beautiful photo-essay of color photographs, all created during the quarter century in which she has lived at Fly Away Home, her womensland in those rugged hills. While each story bears its own internal integrity, their progression forms a history of this land, an unfolding of the author's self, and a window into country lesbian culture. Thus, you can digest and mull over one story at a time, while at the same time delving deeper and deeper into this country lesbian's life.
