As a child born in the 60’s, I was not as aware of the culture of that time period. The author does a great job of describing the love scene, the carefree lifestyle, surfing, drug use, cults, and the lack of responsibility for many aspects of a person’s life. My heart was touched by Mindy and Ginger and the fact that their mother was not a parent in the real sense of the word. Well written and full of raw emotion. This is one to put on your to-be-read list.
