Reseña del editor:

Bad Boy Reforms for Love A rock god crashes from his pedestal when the innocent young girl he victimized turns the tables. "It's about people and how they fit into their generation and how their times affect their lives. It is timeless, because the search for independence and a sense of family is a timeless theme, but one that seemed particularly poignant in the '60's when the young were coming up and overthrowing the old. It was exciting to be running wild and searching for a better family than the one from which we all came" -Sam Southworth, Portsmouth NH "The external turbulence of the times is woven seamlessly into the inner turbulence and demons of the main characters. HIPPIEVILLE never pulled any punches. It never got soft. It was raw, fast and real" -Karen Clayton, Toronto ON "As I read the book I was astonished at how thoroughly I was transmitted back to the days of my own reckless youth . . . I felt like I was right there with Ben-exasperated when he did something reckless and relieved when his decisions agreed with my own ideas of right and wrong" -Carolyn Berfield, Gold PA
