Josephine's adventures in San Francisco during the entire decade of the 1960s.

She moves to San Francisco with him and begins her new adventures and misadventures, encountering Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Dr. David Smith, and Charles Manson. Josephine delivers a beautiful baby and enters U. C. Berkeley. She joins the Free Speech movement and learns that free speech is not the goal of its organizers. With the help of two wise women who have escaped prisons in the Soviet Union and Cuba, and another lady who was deceived by her civil rights group, Josephine discovers many social justice organizations have corrupt roots. Josephine & Jon covert to Catholicism, but Jonathan ventures away to sit at the feet of an Indian guru. The journey ends in 1969.

Reviews for "Josephine's Journey : Adventures & Misadventures in the 1960s"
That was a prime time to be in The City. There was a lot of dreaming, social bending, and cultish behavior that young people were drawn to. I had California dreams, too. Of a different kind, when I entered Stanford for a master's degree in industrial engineering. While I loved the music and the freedom of expression, I was so square I never tried marijuana and didn't even drink beer, favoring mixed drinks.
You've tempted me to buy your book and read it, especially because of your encounters with famous people of the era. But I've already promised too many authors and I'm not reading very much these days, maybe later. So I will pass for now.
I am writing a book about my adventures over the decades of the 40s to the 70s and posting them as chapters here on AD. You may wish to read some of them when I was in the Bay Area.
High school student Kevin Borden has a secret and his name is Louis Lannegan. He also has an overbearing mother. A tale of coming out in the shadow of parents and friends. Award winning novella.
May I offer you a Round the World Cruise of a lifetime for the price of a novel?
