Culture Gap: Towards a New World in the Yalakom Valley tells the story of a two year sojourn at the Camelsfoot Commume in a remote valley in BC, Canada. The challenges and privations, the joys and adventures of rural communal living, form the backdrop to the human drama the author recounts. Judith and Kip Plant's family includes her children; Willie takes to the new life, but his sisters feel the strong pull of the life they left behind. Meanwhile Fred, the inspiration for the commune, stricken with cancer, is dying.

Your career has wound down, the kids have moved, and your schedule is clear...for the next 30 years.

Still, that old "you" remains alive. Now, with the rest of your life ahead, you can be the change and make this next stage of your life the most powerful yet.
