NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE, OR, HOW NOT TO START A COMMUNE

Hosts Jim and Bobbi Jean Bell welcomed author JEFF RICHARDS to talk about his new memoir, NOTHING TO LEFT TO LOSE, OR, HOW NOT TO START A COMMUNE. 

Here's more about the book:
In pursuit of a meaningful life, Jeff Richards and his friend Rick Sager, decide to start a commune out in the Rocky Mountains. It doesn't go as planned. Instead of the self-sufficient ranch they envision, they can only afford a crumbling crash pad in Denver; half their friends who agreed to join them (including most of the women) decide to move to Boulder instead; romantic entanglements between group members cause disarray; drug-addicted drifters steal their record collections; and though Rick and Jeff fall in love with every girl that crosses their paths, they rarely fall in love back. Through it all, they learn you don't always accomplish what you set out to do, but you can still take pride in the attempt.

Follow this journey of exploration and a search for meaning with NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE, OR, HOW NOT TO START A COMMUNE.
