"In the spring of 1974, Abbie Hoffman—civil rights activist, Yippie, author and media artist—went 'underground' to avoid a long prison sentence for allegedly selling cocaine to a police undercover agent. In hiding, he became, as he himself has described it, a target for nearly every law-enforcement officer in the country. Over an impossible distance and under stringently secret conditions, a strange and beautiful correspondence began, forging a link between the fugitive and his wife Anita and three year old son America. Their letters present an achingly personal portrait of individual growth and mutual love, reaching higher levels of candor and introspection than in their previous eight years together. In Anita Hoffman's letters we see the quest of a woman discovering her own strength and independence. Abbie's letters lend a terrifying glimpse of the world of the American political/criminal underground." —The Village Voice
