Sunrise Over the Pumpkin Patch
The Adventures of a Rebellious Girl
By Karlyle Tomms
Genre/Category: Friendship/Coming of Age
It's 1967, and promiscuous small-town girl Lovella can't wait to get away from her controlling mother to make her own life. She hooks up with Earl, an ugly hippie rebelling against his rich father. At a time of severe racial tensions and the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement, Earl whisks her off to San Francisco to experience The Summer of Love. Acid trips, a gay love affair, and deep betrayal eventually lead to Lovella's pregnancy with a bi-racial child that Earl will accept, but which will be rejected by Earl's father. Lovella quickly discovers there is more to her mother's control than she ever could have imagined. Sunrise Over the Pumpkin Patch is a rich family saga by Karlyle Tomms, author of The Calling Dream and Edge of Smoke.
