A Philip K. Dick Award finalist. A San Francisco Chronicle Recommended Book of the Year.
The year is 1967 and something new is sweeping across America: good vibes, bad vibes, psychedelic music, psychedelic drugs, anti-war protests, racial tension, free love, bikers, dropouts, flower children. An age of innocence, a time of danger. The Summer of Love.
San Francisco is the Summer of Love, where runaway flower children flock to join the hip elite and squares cruise the streets to view the human zoo.
Lost in these strange and wondrous days, teenager Susan Bell, alias Starbright, has run away from the straight suburbs of Cleveland to find her troubled best friend. Her path will cross with Chiron Cat’s Eye in Draco, a strange and beautiful young man who has journeyed farther than she could ever imagine.
With the help of Ruby A. Maverick, a feisty half-black, half-white hip merchant, Susan and Chi discover a love that spans five centuries. But can they save the world from demons threatening to destroy all space and time?
A harrowing coming of age. A friendship ending in tragedy. A love spanning five centuries. And a gritty portrait of a unique era in American history affecting us to this day.
"Remarkable. . .Summer of Love offers a whole array of beautifully portrayed characters, along the spectrum between outright heroism and villainy. . .the intellect on display within these psychedelically packaged pages is clear-sighted, witty, and wise."
