Cities on a Hill by Frances FitzGerald

Frances FitzGerald explores four American communities shaped by competing visions of a better society: a fundamentalist church, a spiritual commune, a retirement city and a gay activist community. Her reporting examines the ideals, rituals and tensions through which people remake the American dream.
