Description: A story about transitions-young people in a young nation on the threshold of change. Nestled quietly in the desert, the small southern California farm town of Cotton has until now only heard the rumblings of change from a distance. The events of 1963, however, will forcefully drag America into a bold new epoch-and Cotton right along with it.

Review Quotes:
"Hogan captures the energy of an America just about to enter uncharted waters. Losing Cotton is a literary reprise to Bob Dylan's iconic ballad, 'The Times They are a Changing.'"
