Synopsis

Steven Fitzgerald was always a dreamer. Never much cared for his old man. Never much cared for the old man’s money. Definitely never expected to awaken one day and find he had inherited ten billion dollars. Thus begins The Tribe, an alternately hilarious, star-crossed but always touching adventure into alternative living.Steven’s idea seemed simple enough. Establish a collective community on his Northern California retreat, what he hopes will be a more sustainable, pastoral lifestyle, where everybody pitches in to the whole but is free to pursue their own separate goals and dreams. What Steven hadn’t bargained for was the unique twist this assortment of misfits and fellow dreamers would impose on his vision.Earth mothers, hippie farmers, Red Bull guzzling techies and wounded souls, those who have been kicked around on the lower rungs of corporate America and those running hard from the prospect of it. Besieged on all sides by his motley crew, Steven comes to see with time that they do have one enduring thing in common. They’re all burnt out on the American dream and willing to try anything new. The tribe. Where love, cooperation and shared purpose is always close to the heart, where life’s challenges are no longer faced alone, where dreams of a better world actually do blossom and take hold.

À propos de l'auteur

The product of an Irish/Italian family, the author was transplanted as a boy from the clapboard New England of his youth to the cookie cutter, stucco subdivisions that began to litter the disappearing ranches and orange groves south of Los Angeles in the 1960s. Ever rebellious and true to the folk music/coffee house idealism that helped shape his early worldview, he chose to resist the Vietnam War, was a man without a country for several years as the result and can count incarceration in a Mexican prison as one of his many colorful experiences during that era. Having pursued a love of reading and writing in various forms all his life, he finally took this passion seriously around the turn of the millennium and has dedicated the remainder of his days to authorship. He now resides along the shore of Rhode Island, a return to the New England of his youth.
