Dressed in elaborate costumes, Alia's parents hid in plain sight, parading through the city's circus-like atmosphere with the goods tucked into her stroller. When HIV\/AIDS swept San Francisco in the 1980s, Alia's mom turned from dealer into healer, providing soothing edibles to those fighting for their lives at the dawn of medical marijuana. By turns heartbreaking, exhilarating, and laugh-out-loud funny, \u003cem\u003eHome Baked\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates an eccentric and remarkable extended family, taking us through love, loss, and finding home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlia Volz\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eHome Baked: My Mom, Marijuana, and the Stoning of San Francisco\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2020 Golden Poppy Award for nonfiction from the California Independent Booksellers Alliance.
