Book Description
"Fields of Plenty is the memoir of respected farmer, writer, and photographer Michael Ableman as he and his son travel from his own farm in British Columbia across the United States in search of innovative and passionate farmers who are making a difference in what we eat and how we experience food. From California to New York, this story captures the essence of each farmer's vision, the spirit of the land that they work, and the beauty and flavors of the foods that they lovingly produce. Ableman's odyssey takes him to a melon grower who is "militant about flavor," sheep-cheese producers who have built their own culturing caves, an urban farmer growing heirloom tomatoes for market on abandoned lots, and others who are trying to answer the complex questions of sustenance philosophically and, most important, practically." "Fields of Plenty is a hopeful memoir that reveals the larger issues of food in a modern world. Illustrated with Ableman's photographs and flavored with recipes that feature each farmer's bounty, Fields of Plenty is an intimate portrait of food and agriculture at a critical crossroads."--BOOK JACKET.

Gone were the PTSD symptoms brought on by a number of run-ins with members of a drug gang. Gone were the night sweats and an inability to concentrate.

Before long, he is handling all aspects of production of a low budget movie to be filmed in Oregon. The location is an abandoned sanitarium on the Oregon Coast where he has to deal with a temperamental movie queen called by her fans, The Queen of the Bs, her drunken husband a stuntman, strange incidents on the set and murder. In the middle of this turmoil, one of his former gang tormentors asks for his help. Should Lorenzo try to get this man into the Witness Protection, despite the risks? Or, should he cast aside all doubts, because of the valuable information he is offering the government? A dilemma for Lorenzo and a truly dangerous assignment.
