Always moving West, they settle in Berkeley, California. They lose their political innocence during the Vietnam War, join a commune and are blind-sided by the power of cults. The family backpacks every summer in the Sierra Nevada. Annette teaches in the University of California School of Public Health. Howard, trained now as a sociologist of religion, advises groups planning to begin new churches in West Coast suburbs.
Through meditation, creative use of their imagination, and workshops at Esalen, they explore aspects of themselves that had been cut off by their East Coast upbringing. They move to Benicia, California, where Annette blocks the railroad tracks over which munitions trains pass; Howard has a compelling dream of descent into the Void. After his ten-year pastorate, they retire to Claremont, California, where Annette dies in 1997.
A Review by John Denham.
Howard Fuller's jocular, outgoing nature by which many of
us know him gives little indication of the profundity within this man.
Howard has written an amazingly honest memoir, a brave account ending with his
wife Annette’s death...in 1997. Although he traces
each turn in his educational and professional life, the heart of the story is
his unending quest to grow as an intimate person: son, husband, father,
friend.
Howard’s story is self-revealing, painfully
so at times. His doesn’t hide his failures, foibles and fumbles on his way
to becoming more fully human. Using notes from journals faithfully kept
through the years, he says “This autobiography is a telling of my story to
myself, with me listening, so that I can understand what my life has been
about.”
It takes some courage to read Howard’s story
if you, as reader, allow yourself to take a similar journey along with
him. His gradual self-discovery, his ‘walking with Jesus’ will take you
along for a high Sierras bumpy trek into your own internal places. His
description of true intimacy is worth the price of the book and much, much more
if you make it your own.
Howard’s paean to Annette is poetic and
heart-rending. Their relationship was a long lesson in marital
intimacy.... In
many unexpected places there are poetic flashes, lyrical phrases, surprising
turns and bold candor.
