Publisher's Summary
One act of courage can change the world.
The year is 2048. Climate change and bio-warfare have ravaged much of the Earth, and societal meltdown has splintered the US into fragments. But out of the ruins, Northern California has built a thriving culture based on respect for the four sacred things: air, fire, water and earth.
The Fifth Sacred Thing is an epic tale of freedom and slavery, love and war, and the potential futures of humankind. It tells of a 21st century California clan caught between two clashing worlds: one based on tolerance, the other on repression. It is both a love story between two people and a war story between two opposing ideals.

Brilliant and clever
Keeps you intrigued, a few gruesome moments but that added to the tension.
Loved the 5 sacred things and what a wonderful description of utopia.
Must read, listen to.

Wow, I am struggling to find words to describe how I feel about this book. but wow seems to fit well. I think everyone should read it at some stage - sooner the better! the reader was amazing for this audiobook too... incredible how she jumped from character to character, remembering the voice she created for them. such an amazing listen .

Incredible medicine for our times!!
What a stunning work of art! So happy I listened. Beautifully narrated, easy to read, engaging and currently relevant. I definitely noticed some of the old 90's language and themes which were a bit funny, but just served to make even more accessible in some ways. Loved it!!!

This is my favourite book
I have just listened to this again. I love this book so much. Multi layered. Genius. The bees. The energy. Healing. Appreciation and gratitude for the base of our existence. We must learn these things. I will buy my children this book when they are ready to read it. It’s an emotional journey, as life is. A true story, with many lessons, examples, Permaculture, homeopathy, reiki, community based leadership. Reverence for the elderly and young. Utopia. Thank you Starhawk for your gift. I appreciate your vision and storytelling ability. Deep gratitude.
