"WHEN LIFE WAS USER-FRIENDLY AND THE SKY REALLY WAS THE LIMIT" (review quote) In this chronicle about life on the hippie trail, W. M. Raebeck provides a funky flashback to what now seems an easier era. Through her marginal feats and misadventures, you'll always be siding with the bad guy. Questionable conduct here takes a back seat to innocence, naivete, rites of passage, and even desperation. The author's exploits reveal, too, that perennial determination of the young-every generation's instinct to define itself and its time.

"WHEN LIFE WAS USER-FRIENDLY AND THE SKY REALLY WAS THE LIMIT" (review quote) In this chronicle about life on the hippie trail, W. M. Raebeck provides a funky flashback to what now seems an easier era. Through her marginal feats and misadventures, you'll always be siding with the bad guy. Questionable conduct here takes a back seat to innocence, naivete, rites of passage, and even desperation. The author's exploits reveal, too, that perennial determination of the young-every generation's instinct to define itself and its time. In a kaleidoscope of back roads, airplanes, boats, and trains, this is a sometimes funny, sometimes edgy story of a bold young woman finding her way through life and love. Packed with punchy dialogue, outlandish schemes, and eclectic love affairs, this could only be that one breathless moment of history-now fading into our past-that is great fun to revisit. Boomers will grok these free-wheelin' recollections of long-haired days when hitch-hikers had to wait their turn for space on the on-ramp. And readers of every age will be reminded that the youthful spirit is timeless, and harrowing ordeals are just bends in the road. Hippie freaks, where are you now?
Autorenporträt
W. M. Raebeck lives in Hawaii where she adores turquoise waters, tradewinds, birdsong, her tropical garden, and little White Boy. Retrieving geckos from his jowls is the worst part of her day.Writing, yoga, swimming, animal friends, family and travel keep her occupied in these strange American times. "You must create your own bubble," she says, "a safe haven of beauty, goodness, and morality in which to reside, withdraw, and nurture your sanity."W. M. Raebeck has had an adventurous life, much shared in her books. She's packed a few lifetimes into one, with endless travel, acting in film and television, hiking or hitch-hiking across various countries, years as a journalist, renovating houses in Hawaii, modeling in Paris, NYC, and L.A., plus continuous political, environmental, and animal rights activism. Lifelong pursuits are also yoga, natural health, and photography. She likes to believe she's just getting started.... We'll see what the universe decides on that.
