Take a trip through the Sixties: written by a journalist who was there to see it all. Sara Davidson, together with her friends Susie and Tasha, became caught up in the tumultuous changes of the Sixties and the narrative follows them from their fist meeting in 1962 through the events that changed the world - and their views and beliefs of the world. Susie navigates through the Free Speech Movement and the early women's movement in Berkeley; Tasha enters the trendy New York art and society scene; and Sara, a journalist, travels the country reporting on the stories of the sixties. Figures such as Timothy Leary, Mario Savio, Tom Hayden, and Joan Baez are here, as are the many young people who sought alternatives to "the establishment" through whatever means seemed worth exploring: radical politics, meditation, drugs, group sex, or dropping out. Davidson's honest and detailed chronicle reveals the hopes, confusion, and disillusionment of a generation whose rites of passage defined one of the most contentious decades of this century.
