Adriana is a young woman in her twenties navigating her way through the counterculture during the late sixties and early seventies. It’s a virtual roller-coaster ride of events and emotions that often blur the lines between her present life and her past. At the beginning, she is torn between her communal family and her nuclear family. She is swept up in the politics of the day—free speech, the peace movement, free love, and communal living. Psychedelics, music, books, mysticism, and the people she meets along the way open her mind to her relationship to nature and the universe itself, as well as her place in it. She questions everything about life. She chooses to see her relationships, loves, and life events in a very metaphysical way, sometimes even ethereally. Perhaps, if you lived through that era, you will see some of yourself in her. If not, you will learn something about the young people who did.

A Groovy Peek into "Confessions of a Middle-Aged Hippie" Should the wild escapades of your twenties and beyond silently recede into decades past? Or would you have the guts to bare it all, with the enthusiasm of a peace-loving, truth-seeking middle-aged hippie? Beverley Golden presents a love-offering of profound lessons from heart-wrenching, humorous encounters in standing up to Gods of conventional medicine while staring death in the eye, raising a child TV star, and pursuing a career in the entertainment industry at all costs always choosing a life colored by love, laughter and hope as the only possible outcome. Blazing trails though the 60s and 70s, right up to today, this candid, conversational memoir affirms the power of intuition and teaches us to never underestimate the role of questioning everything on the path of a true hippie seeker. Be forewarned this book may not be for you: If you ve never faced insurmountable health challenges determined to find another way If you never dated (or married) someone despite obvious omens courtesy of your family, God and/or Mother Nature If you ve never wanted to be on Oprah or dreamed of writing a book in eight days If you once had the chance to divulge your dreams to a rock star about your past-life connection, but failed to take it If you aren t intrigued by horoscopes, Hair or Daryl Hall and John Oates If you think everything you did in Vegas should definitely stay in Vegas Beverley s unconventional memoir will inspire you to live life on your own terms. This book proves it: you are not alone in the universe and we re all hippies at heart.

GIACCO GIORDANO is insane He has organic brain damage from too much LSD. He's harmless, but incurable. The State awards him a paltry stipend, but enough to contribute to the communal coffers of Hunga Dunga and to pursue enlightenment on a grand scale. This is Giacco's story about that brief but unforgettable time in our history when fl ower children were sure peace and love would guide the planet. It was only a matter of time. Or so they thought. What happened? Giacco would like to remind you. Time is running out. HUNGA DUNGA is often holy, often horny. Sometimes saintly, sometimes sexually explicit. From New York to Los Angeles, Lovelock to Woodstock, Tucson to Prince George, San Francisco to Twisp, and an amazing journey around the world in search of The Guru. You are in for some very strange rides. If you are lucky, you may just find the secret to god-realization. But make sure you are sitting under a blanket. ..".this is damned good stuff Superlative dialogue. Written with a comfort and assuredness that vacuumed me into that world. Excellent, amusing and poignant..." - Colonel, Retired, U.S. Army Donald McRae, author of Montana Gold and Conflict of Interest "Polizatto had given the world an amazing (and accurate) picture of that very special time in history. He's woven such a sweet and beautiful story in such a conversational manner, that all the intellectual references gently drip like honey so that anyone can partake in the feast." - Lee Balan, author of Exhumations and Alien Journal ..".this book is defi nitely Kerouacian in it's scope, both on the human (cast of characters - and what characters ) and geographical scale.

Confessions of a Middle-Aged Hippie Geek is a collection of personal essays inviting the reader to tag along on Eubank's middle-aged journey of self-discovery. Join her as she reveals a few silly secrets, delights in life's simple pleasures, exposes her fears and phobias and proves that getting "older" doesn't necessarily mean getting old. Eubank states: I am a bona fide middle-aged hippie geek, and if that also makes me an oxymoron, an anomaly or just plain weird (eccentric, peculiar, or odd), then I'm okay with that. And I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm not alone--that a few of the rest of you fall into the same category. Welcome . . . welcome to my groovy world. Pull up a beanbag while I light some incense and put Simon and Garfunkel on the iPod. Then I'll pass around the dictionaries, and we'll see how many synonyms we can find for geriatric. It will be fun. I promise. And she delivers on that promise.
