Synopsis

In this coming-of-age memoir, Sharon takes you with her on a nail-biting adventure through the early 1970s after leaving her sheltered home life at sixteen years old to join the hippies. Yearning for freedom, she lands in an adult world for which she is unprepared, and must learn quickly in order to survive.As Sharon navigates the US and Canada—whether by hitchhiking, bicycle, or the back of a motorcycle—she experiences love and heartbreak, discovers who she can and cannot trust, and awakens to the Women’s Liberation movement while living in a rural off-grid commune. In this colorful memoir, she reflects upon the changes that reshaped her during that decade, and how the ways in which she and her peers threw off the rules meant to keep women in their place has transformed and empowered the lives of girls and women today.

Goodreads review by Jamele (BookswithJams) on June 10, 2020

This was a fascinating memoir to read. I am not a risk taker at heart, so it is interesting to read about someone that can up and leave home at such a young age and have the experiences that Sharon did. She was brave, stood up for what she believed in and had no fear. I cannot say that about myself......more
