About the Book:

Young, college age people in Ashland, Oregon get involved with a local Buddhist temple and its plans to build a new temple and giant Buddha statue. Local bigotry and a marginal group of bikers obstruct and harass them. Local real estate intrigues and outbreaks of violence lead to the final conflict, as Mother Nature has her say in it all.

An engaging, contemporary novel set in one of the most exciting cities of the new West. It powerfully draws the forces of reason and compassion against bigotry and xenophobia.  Lots of lots of hot action, as young people make their first big mark on the world.
