{"product_id":"9781648211157","title":"My Father's Cabin","description":"\u003cbr\u003eIn the Rust Belt of the 1960s, a blue-collar father works double-shifts, chasing elusive dreams: a good night's sleep, eternal life, a cabin in the Allegheny Mountains where he can hunt and fish. His son is a child of the times, chasing his own dreams: girls, long hair, politics, and independence. And both chase the same dream: each other's elusive love.This is a familiar story uniquely told, in a voice that perfectly captures America at its most turbulent, an era that continues to define the largest generation in American history. Those Baby Boomer children are now parents - even grandparents who have not forgotten what it was like to have the freedom to do anything, but often the desire to do nothing. My Father's Cabin chronicles life in America as the Greatest Generation gives way to the Me Decade, as responsibility gives way to self-fulfillment. And then back again, as responsibility becomes self-fulfillment.Echoing this story - this story of one family, but also of a whole nation - is the saga of the land: of man's conquest of nature, then a return to the wild, then a new type of conquest. In flashbacks that stretch over centuries, Mark Phillips re-creates the remarkable cycle of birth, death, and rebirth that is this nation's biography.And through it all is My Father's Cabin: a cabin that began as a working man's dream; a cabin that both divided and united a family; a cabin where the smog and labor of the factory were replaced by the country's pure springs, by fishing and hunting; a cabin where man and nature finally come to a compromise.
