When thirty-five-year-old Bill Armature learns he's inherited a
house in California, he leaves Detroit, Michigan, to deal with his
new home. Armature believes his stay in Chico will be temporary and
leases an apartment for just three months. Soon this man of many
hats-political cartoonist, fisher, hunter, former footballer,
father, and husband-finds himself teaching at Chico State and
fiddling in politics. He attempts to fathom the roots of love and
fatherhood-of betrayal, death, and loss-while searching for ways to
fill the lonely places inside. "Orchards of Almonds" features
characters that include Kennedys alive and dead, LBJ and company,
and Ronald Reagan, along with California politicos, academics,
Vietnam protesters, and movie stars. While weaving author Donald
Junkins' semi-autobiographical story, it provides an insider's view
of California politics in the 1960s. Praise for the work of Donald
Junkins "Donald Junkins' "Half Hitch" perfectly captures an
American era and the story of a life caught in its baffling
attitudes toward manhood, religion, and sex." -Tracy Kidder,
Pulitzer Prize and National Book award winner "Junkins is a highly
regarded American poet and one of the world's celebrated experts on
Hemingway. How encouraging to see this stunning appearance in the
world of the novel " -Robert Kaiser, Author, "RFK Must Die"
