Flowers in Their Hair

Flowers in their Hair follows the evolution and misadventures of Zane, the main character, as he negotiates the carnivals and combat zones of the sixties. He is just an average hippie, evading the Vietnam War, taking part in student uprisings, seeking spiritual enlightenment through psychedelic drugs, getting incarcerated, living in communes, having intense, but for the most part short, relationships with girls and women, alternating between ecstasy and depression, traveling the western United States and Mexico but always returning to San Francisco. His quest for spirituality and love comes to some fruition by the end of the decade.
