ALL THE LITTLE LIVE THINGS by Wallace Stegner

This was a terrible book. It told the story of a couple suffering from the senseless death of their son and baffled by the engulfing chaos of the 1960's. They are especially troubled by Jim Peck, a messianic exponent of drugs, yoga and sex and Marian Catlin, an attractive young woman whose otherworldly innocence is very appealing and very dangerous.
