 There
is a special time in life when youthful innocence must come to terms with
the harsh realities of the world. During the sixties, this passage emerged
in our culture as a dynamic struggle between youthful idealism and existing
power structures.
Flower Child is the moving memoir of a young woman’s search for true
love and spirituality during this volatile time. She will capture your
heart as you share her magical, mystical adventures in the City of Angels,
Haight-Ashbury, and a Maui Zendo commune.
Through her
encounters with Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa, the Iron Butterfly, and the
Brotherhood of Eternal Love, she experiences both the light and the shadow
side of Flower Power.
Step through the looking glass and follow her from sacred LSD and peyote
trips to the Sunset Strip fashion scene, from blissful Be-Ins and Love-Ins
to deep inner awakenings. Take her hand and let Flower Child lead you
through the psychedelic powerhouse that will always be known as the Summer
of Love.
Reviews:
"The book captured me immediately." Jody
Howe
"As I am reading it to my daughter, I feel
love welling up inside me and I have been moved to tears several times.
Your words truly have a cleansing and tonic effect on my being."
Summer Siewert
"I was moved by my daughter's reaction to
your new book and want to send a
special thanks to you. Your impact on her life has been incredible."
"Reading Flower Child brings the breeze of
Life throughout your entire being! Farida's heart rending and gloriously
uplifting true-life story of longing brings you firsthand into the life
of a truly gifted woman searching for her life path, only to find she's
been there all the while.
It is an exclusive candid glimpse into her life which parallels the collective
life beat of the heart of the sixties, this legendary time that has become
lore for so many.
Farida's archetypal and very human writing style truly makes you feel
as if you are a guardian angel watching over her, holding her dear in
her struggles and rejoicing at her many successes. You also feel like
a fly on the wall, witnessing some of the sixties most "happening
scenes" and most harrowing secrets.
This book lifts the shroud of illusions and myths about the fabled sixties,
while it also resurrects the deep beauty and universal truth at the root
of those evolving times.
While I read Farida's treasure trove of innocent insight and sage wisdom,
I could literally feel my own spirit and creativity awaken, as though
a fresh breeze were fluttering the silken sheets where they slumbered.
My own life path, and purpose, and love for life glowed, in my whole being,
infusing my life, charged with the message she delivers so fearlessly
and so selflessly.
It is truly the work of an evolved soul, who has a great gift for the
world she is giving, and will give entirely, before she returns to the
Love she came from.
Mothers, Sisters, Fathers, and Brothers, Children of Flowers and Stars,
bring your handkerchiefs and your hearts!" Summer S. Siewert
