Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography
A San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller
"A portrait of a heroics, innovation, grit, and pot-baking . . . strikingly relevant . . . beautifully written."
-Entertainment Weekly
"A raunchy and rollicking account of a vanished era told by someone who paid very close attention to her larger-than-life parents. I gobbled it up like an edible."
-Armistead Maupin
In the 1970s, when cannabis was as illicit as heroin, Alia Volz's mother ran Sticky Fingers Brownies, a pioneering underground bakery that delivered ten thousand marijuana edibles per month to a city in the throes of change-from the joyous upheavals of gay liberation to the tragedy of the Peoples Temple. Dressed in elaborate costumes, Alia's parents hid in plain sight, parading through the city's circus-like atmosphere with the goods tucked into her stroller. When HIV/AIDS swept San Francisco in the 1980s, Alia's mom turned from dealer into healer, providing soothing edibles to those fighting for their lives at the dawn of medical marijuana.
By turns heartbreaking, exhilarating, and laugh-out-loud funny, Home Baked celebrates an eccentric and remarkable extended family, taking us through love, loss, and finding home.
Now with extra material, including a reading group guide, author Q&A, and additional photos!
