Flower power ignites into fire power when Liz MacKay, a lonely young woman, entangles herself in a treacherous plot and murder during the Summer of Love. City of Redemption tells of the dark underbelly of the '60's. It is a vividly recounted suspenseful story where lies, betrayal, sex, drugs and murder lead to a woman's imprisonment. It is 1984 and Liz waits to be paroled for the murder of former commune member, Ricky Martinez. Is she guilty? She says yes. Her attorney and friend, Toni Bordeaux, disagrees and tells Liz she has paid her debt! In 1967, Liz's young son is kidnapped and murdered. Partly to blame for her young son's death and abandoned by her husband, Liz leaves Scotland in disgrace, hoping for a second chance at love and life. Glasgow, Scotland is the start of Liz's fall into darkness. Questioned by the police, hounded by the press and accused by her community Liz is advised to leave the only home she's known. She arrives in San Francisco during the Summer of Love to have a "jolly good time" with the free loving groovy people. Soon, she joins a commune. Her new family is a curious mix: Black Panthers Toni and her boyfriend, Bobby, trying to change the world, Sam, a Vietnam vet, seeking inner peace with a warrior past, a kindhearted, flamboyant hairdresser, Mason, ready for fame and love, a ditzy flower child named Cat, and her callous drug dealing boyfriend, Ricky, who loves his girlfriends then quickly tosses them aside. At first, Liz is happy to have found a welcoming home, but as her new roommates pry into her mysterious past Liz's search for a "jolly good time" brings more grief and a worsening drug addiction. She becomes unwittingly embroiled in a plot to bring down the Black Panthers and knows how to save her Panther friend Toni as a way to redeem herself for her part in her son's death. Telling her plot to another roommate, Liz is warned, "Keep your mouth shut." The old Liz from Glasgow emerges and in with a passionate zeal and with help from a co-conspirator, she seizes the chance to save her Toni and Bobby. But can she save her friends or will she just watch her commune family break apart? No one expects anything heroic from Liz, especially Ricky.

City of Redemption is not the usual sort of book I read, but recently I've been trying out different genres. All I can say is... really enjoyed this one. For me personally, a great read from start to finish. No hesitation in giving 5 stars.

Having lived during this time in History and being a teenager at the time, I enjoyed learning that some in California were a little bit more wild than I was. I was at Woodstock and had a ball, but did not do any drugs, but knew people who did and it got them in trouble.

June Ahern has again nailed the story of the '60s! The times were very different and many strange things took place. The story is well written and made me relive many things we did when we were young and stupid. The many people that meet up with the main character, Liz MacKay, could have been anyone of the people I met up with in that time.
The songs and hairdos are right on and all of it brings back many, many memories.

I would recommend this book and the other books by June Ahern, she is a modern author and understands the youth of the 1960s. Since she lived through all of it and in San Francisco, she hit the nail on the head. I was 3000 miles away, but still remember it. She makes me feel like a kid again. Keep them coming June, I love them!

4,0 su 5 stelle A Good Story Line
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 27 agosto 2013

This book is well worth reading whether you lived through the 60's and Flower Power or are a young reader. A good story line, not sure if I liked the jumping from past to present, but it was a clever ruse to delay the actual details of the tragedy which Liz endured. I'm sure that every Mother felt sympathy, a young woman that made a foolish mistake and then lacking maturity worsened the situation. Obviously she punished herself more deeply than the judgements of others. Sadly whenever a child is lost in this manner, parents find it difficult to deal with the situation together, sometimes considering the other half negligent or simply unable to put the past behind them. We often blame the LIz's of this world, why was the chilkd out ploaying late, why didn't they keep a closer eye on the little lad or lass, when all the parents need is sympathy. Yes Liz acted irresponsibly but they are also the innocents, those that take the life of a child for whatever reason one finds hard to forgive.

4,0 su 5 stelle Definitely worth reading!

I don't know about the accuracy of Glasgow in the 1960's, but that isn't the reason to read this book. The book captures the feelings and emotions of the 60's both in Scotland and the U.S. But aside from even that, the book is just a good story of a woman finding a way to forgive herself for past mistakes and move on with her life. The characters are vivid and the story line is interesting. I like the way that the author shifts from the past to the present throughout the book; it made me want to read ahead and find out how it all connected! Definitely worth reading!!

5,0 su 5 stelle A True Voice of the Sixties
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 12 agosto 2013

Having lived through the 60's, I feel confident in saying that the characters and ambience in this book rang true! The story's development and the popular music referenced set the background for a tale of a woman's coming to terms with the traumatic loss of her 8-year-old son and the subsequent collapse of her marriage. Anyone who ever felt the heavy responsibility of parenthood and judged themselves harshly for the way they handled it cannot help but relate to the allegorical lessons in forgiveness and letting go. Told from both retrospective and current viewpoints, the story flows well and the book was hard to put down once I started reading it. Ms. Ahern is an engaging and intelligent writer and I look forward to reading her other books.
