Autorenporträt
Although Calgary author Bernice Bohnet never ventured to San Francisco as a teenager, she has always been fascinated by the hippy movement. That fascination, coupled with her English literature and psychology degrees from the University of Calgary, informed her decision to write Destination Haight-Ashbury. Bernice lives in Calgary with her husband, who she happily describes as both her best friend and her first reader.
