Watching The Asparagus Grow - Paperback

by Jeff Wilkins (Author)

Journey back, wax nostalgic, and get to know an aspiring writer questioning his true purpose during the Vietnam War while social injustice rages around him. Lives will be forever changed when those considered different from themselves descend upon their small, make believe summer resort along the shores of Lake Erie. Could they endure when, fifty years ago, African Americans, gay and lesbian couples, and a bi-racial relationship rocked their reality? An unsolved murder? A Cannabis infused hippy and his meddling neighbor gossiper? A disgruntled ghost? Or the long-lost gay Hollywood B movie star who returns to his painful past? These are among the many deep, dark secrets forced to the surface in this heartwarming yet heartbreaking tale of love and forgiveness triumphing over hatred and bigotry during the tumultuous 60s and 70s.
