Growing up in the tumultuous sixties in a small town was both frustrating and a blessing. This book attempts to describe the confusion of a young girl who could not understand why everyone didn't just give peace and love a chance. The sadness of the Vietnam War, the meanness of kids in school, the perceptions people had of her made her both hopeful and cynical. Her mission to promote peace, love, and understanding creates an amusing, tearful, and interesting endeavor for the reader.
