Ta Bu or not Ta Bu: True Tales of an Aging Hippie Chick

My story is about growing up in the 1950s and 1960s and the dramatic social changes that propelled society in new directions. Looking back, I can say some things are better because of the tremendous reverberations of the 1960s, and some things are worse. It depends on how you look at it. This is a story about polarities. This is a story about truth and lies, right and wrong, victimization and survival, children and adults, rebellion and conformity, realities and fantasies, idealism and realism, guilt and innocence, holding grudges and forgiving, certainties and uncertainties, defeat and triumph, and consenting and relenting.
