A collection of memories about growing up hippie in Toronto, during one of the most interesting periods of the 20th century. Not to mention the sex, drugs and rock and roll…

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine, engaging writing on 60s counterculture in Canada

Morgan Smith tells a good story and she tells it well. The anecdotes and descriptions of time and place pulled me in from page 1 as did her excellent writing about coming of age in Toronto in the 60s surrounded by people who were active in the counterculture movement. I kinda wish there was a Part 2!

It was very interesting but the end was like going blind during a movie. What the hell happened to the rest of the book!

Sometimes you read someone else's life so you can remember yours. A tear shed more than once. Time missed but pick upped in this book.

Having grown up in those times, I found both her writing and recollection of the era to be an authentic and valid account of how it really was. For those that actually lived during the sixties or for younger people that are merely curious, I highly recommend it.

Thought book was going to be about a look back on the best times ever but instead just another coming of age book and not told very well

Her interesting life made for an interesting read. Like a "trip" through the author's memories, brings 1960's Toronto to life.
