Official synopsis Publisher
Kevin Mikolajczyk, a slow and loveless Santa Monica teenager, ran away from home in 1967 to meet Haight-Ashbury’s burgeoning Summer of Love. Along the way he lost his friends, his virginity, and his focus. Of greater importance, he lost his heart to a pretty, manipulative psychopath who used, abused, and dumped him at the first opportunity. Kevin, a profound epileptic, reached the fabled City and, after surfacing from a series of grand mals, was robbed, raped, and brutalized prior to being shanghaied by a busload of marauding Jesus Freaks. A must-read for all liberals, truth seekers, and species apologists in general.
