Sinossi

Ron Schulz is eighteen, broke, on probation, and watching the world he believed in come apart.
In Chicago, he has fought cops, sold underground newspapers, joined the radical counterculture, fallen in love, lost his collective, and searched for spiritual meaning amid politics, drugs, desire, and unrest.
Then he hears about a communal farm in rural Wisconsin.
Leaving the city behind, Ron joins a group of fellow freaks trying to build a different kind of life—one rooted in the land, shared ideals, hard work, and freedom from the society they have rejected. For Ron, the farm offers another kind of revolution: a chance to reconcile political rebellion with his growing fascination with Zen, Tantra, karma, love, and inner freedom.
But changing the scenery does not change human nature. Desire gets complicated. Friendships strain. Meetings collapse into arguments. Ideals collide with jealousy, responsibility, sex, money, and the daily work required to keep a communal dream alive.
Frank, irreverent, intimate, and often funny, Chasing Karma is a firsthand memoir of the late-1960s and early-1970s counterculture and one young radical’s search for belonging. As Ron tries to hold on to his heart, his ideals, and the possibility of a lasting home, he confronts a question bigger than politics: can a free-spirited rebel learn how to stay?
