Born in Berkeley

“Although written as a memoir, Caroline Ryder's account of her life and times draws heavily from my life experiences, a time I have come to call the Beat/Hippie Axis, says author Lynn Rogers, M.A., who offers the following comment from a Beat/Hippie era figure who was the companion to a man she encountered--and was driven by--"on the road" in Mexico--the iconic Neal Cassady: "The book is an important contribution to our knowledge of the sixties. The reader is allowed to observe the sixties' failed revolution through the very perceptive, aware, intelligent, female, teenaged eyes (about whom it revolved and from whom it emanated) an age that almost but not quite changed the world forever." --Anne Marie Maxwell, Beat artist and author of Tripping with a Viper.
