Requests:  0 Summary:  "During the 70s in San Francisco, Alia's mother ran the underground Sticky Fingers Brownies, delivering upwards of 10,000 illegal marijuana edibles per month throughout the circus-like atmosphere of a city in the throes of major change. She exchanged psychic readings with Alia's future father, and thereafter had a partner in business and life. Each was devoted to the occult, and they regularly consulted the oracles for information on the police. Decades before cannabusiness went mainstream, when marijuana was as illicit as heroin, they ingeniously hid themselves in plain sight, parading through town -- and through the scenes and upheavals of the day, from Gay Liberation to the tragedy of the Peoples Temple -- in bright and elaborate outfits, the goods wrapped in hand-designed packaging and tucked into Alia's stroller. But the stars were not aligned forever and, after leaving the city and a shoulda-seen-it-coming divorce, Alia and her mom returned to San Francisco in the mid-80s, this time using Sticky Fingers' distribution channels to provide medical marijuana to friends and former customers now suffering the depredations of AIDS. Exhilarating, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartbreaking, HOME BAKED celebrates an eccentric and remarkable extended family, taking us through love, loss, and finding home"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 979.46109 Volz Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.46109 Volz Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.46109 Volz Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.46109 Volz Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
