Produktbeschreibung

The author takes the reader on a journey from the sheltered suburban life of a white girl-through trying marijuana and dancing to Janis Joplin during the Summer of Love in San Francisco, having a spiritual epiphany about the Oneness of the Universe while on an entomology camping expedition across Africa, and then returning to realize that the Flower Children she'd left behind had somehow shared her epiphany. Carol is shocked to realize the depths of injustice of the world, the nefarious workings of her own government, and the extent of racism even in her own liberal family. Through the struggles and joys of protests against the Vietnam war, picnics in Golden Gate Park, a new relationship, and becoming awakened to white privilege, as a teacher in inner-city Oakland, she changes the direction of her life. Carol seeks to lead her life in ways that align with the woven Tapestry she perceives as the interconnection of all parts of the universe.
