EDEN UNDONE is an amazing true story of the search for Utopia, and how the idea crashed because of terrible behavior. Headlines around the world focused on the people who fled to an uninhabited island to "get away from it all" and instead "brought it all" to the island. Abbott Kahler used her journalism background to dig up the obscure facts and her New York Times best-selling author talents to tell the tale in a page-turning fashion.
