The Orange Blossom Express is autobiographical fiction in its most vivid incarnation: Evangeline returns to her Southern California town of Redlands, California to weave fragments of memory with fiction to build an intriguing story of two women coming of age in 1969. The bizarre and edgy reality's of life in the Age of Aquarius are tempered with narrative fiction that brings Evangeline's story into raw focus. This is a story of the smugglers world survived from a woman's point-of-view, a curious space between a time of vivid adventure-ala-1969 that grew through the sheer will and determination of an extraordinary woman into the power and strength of extraordinary survival.

Take a ride on The Orange Blossom Express — via 1969 — a time when reality's stiff borders slipped into absurdity's edgier, more tenuous terrain.
