It\u2019s the season of siren songs and loosened bonds\u2014as well as war, campaign slogans, and assassination. When the Rayson family leaves the East Coast for the gathering anarchy of Berkeley, twelve-year-old Alice embraces the moment in a hippie paradise that\u2019s fast becoming a cultural ground zero. As her family and school fade away in a tear gas fog, the 1960s counterculture brings ambiguous freedom. Guided only by a child\u2019s-eye view in a tumultuous era, Alice could become another casualty\u2014or she could come through to her new family, her developing life. But first, she must find her way in a world where the street signs hang backward and there\u2019s a bootleg candy called Orange Sunshine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Sarah Relyea:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Sarah-Relyea.png?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sarah Relyea\" class=\"wp-image-9282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Sarah-Relyea.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Sarah-Relyea.png?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Sarah Relyea<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarah Relyea is the author of \u201cPlayground Zero,\u201d a coming-of-age story set in Berkeley in the late 1960s.
