Please join us Saturday, April 4th at 5pm to welcome author Linda Rosewood and celebrate her debut novel, "A Circle Outside," a subversive comedic novel set in 1980s Santa Cruz!

It’s the early 1980s, and a household of lesbian feminists establish a women-only commune in an ancient Californian redwood forest.

It seems a perfect place to practice the ritual magic that helps them function harmoniously as a group – even if they aren’t all true believers. By getting back to the land, they can also live more as nature intended and give the finger to the Patriarchy.

That doesn’t stop jealousies arising, as Wren, an artist, nurses an unrequited crush on Robin, the land’s extraordinarily generous owner. Further conflict brews as they try to preserve their paradise -- will the "no men on the land" rule be broken?

Warm, funny and harking unashamedly back to a less toxic era, A Circle Outside is a seductive vision of a utopian dream, where the only real magic is self-transformation.

Please join us for a magical afternoon!
