"When 17-year-old Elizabeth Baker Phillips leaves behind her bright future at Stanford for a love affair with an SF hippie named Wiley, she finds herself pregnant and without many options. Soon she is living in an old Victorian house converted into a home for unwed mothers, where she finds her voice in a world that would prefer she stay silent."
"Vanessa Hua's writing is clear, forward, totally propulsive, and in Coyoteland she attunes her colossal talent to unveiling the deep frailties and intricacies of an affluent community in the Bay Area beset with coyote attacks. Wise and wholly addicting to read, the largest pleasure."
"Founded in 1967, the magazine and its editors delved deep into the politics and culture of the time, nurtured young writers like Cameron Crowe and Greil Marcus, and used the appeal of popular music to cover historic events from a unique perspective."
Kate Schatz's new historical novel follows 17-year-old Elizabeth Baker Phillips who abandons her Stanford future for a relationship with a San Francisco hippie, becoming pregnant and finding refuge in a Victorian house for unwed mothers where she discovers her voice.
