Children Of Love

Jess grows up in the confusing seventies as the daughter of a respected literature teacher. All of Boston is against the war in Vietnam and to make matters worse, her father leaves the family to go and 'live for art'. Jess threatens to follow in her parents' footsteps, she reads poetry and gets teenage boyfriends and girlfriends, until she thinks she has found her great love in her mother's lover.
Jess decides to take a radically different path. She flees to an agricultural commune where greed is supposedly banished, becomes pregnant by an illegal Russian, and only retraces her steps when the leader announces that all women will belong to everyone. Jess will try to raise her 'love child' alone, in her father's cottage. Then she meets a mushroom grower, who is less boastful, and happiness seems to come within her reach.
