The Oregon Experiment

Resumen del libro

A love song to the Pacific Northwest, The Oregon Experiment explores the minefield of complications that arises when a young East Cost couple moves to small-town Oregon and befriends a troubled young man.

Naomi and Scanlon Pratt are at the threshold of a new life. Scanlon has a position at the local university-teaching mass movements and domestic radicalism-and Naomi is pregnant with their first child. But everything changes when they meet Clay, a troubled young anarchist who despises Scanlon's self-serving attempts at friendship but adores Naomi. As the Pratts welcome their newborn son, their lives become so deeply entwined with Clay's that they must decide exactly where their loyalties lie, before the increasingly volatile activism that they've been dabbling in engulfs them all.
