For ten years, a peace-loving band of old-school hippies have explored their ambitions, projects, and passions in their own smoke-filled bubble in the Pacific Northwest. But now, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, newcomers have arrived to claim space in the quiet valleys next to the clear-flowing creeks and along the green mountainsides that the free-spirited hippies had once called home. Violence and death come with these large-scale growers, armed gangs, corrupt cops, and drug cartels who don't mind declaring war to claim marijuana country as their own. Grower's Market pits old-school hippies against a new, profit-crazed generation to explore the changing culture surrounding the modern marijuana industry. Characters such as Sunbeam, a 1960s San Francisco hippie girl, and peace-seeking combat veterans who work in her restaurant--Shadow, Shrimp, Stones, Toon, and Shakespeare--drive the book forward at breakneck speed and give the reader an endearing glimpse into a unique subculture.
