Hippie Serendipity: a Story of Peace, Love, and Freedom Kathy Deford

Publisher Marketing: Follow the true and remarkable story of two young hippies, thousands of miles apart, seeking the peace, love and freedom promised by the counterculture of the Sixties. In this double memoir, learn of their struggles with psychedelic drugs like LSD, their disappointments, their failures, and even discover a three-hundred-pound Jesus imposter. Follow their separate hitchhiking journeys around the country as they suffer cold, hunger, and the loneliness of the road. Learn about life on a hippie commune. Discover the incredible serendipity of their first encounter, their deepening love as they hitchhike to the West Coast, across the Plains and the Midwest, and to New England. Yearn with them as they actively pursue spiritual enlightenment--studying, fasting, and meeting with spiritual people of all stripes all across the United States. Explore with them their investigation of non-denominational, Assembly of God, Seventh-Day Adventists, Christian Science, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Experience their deepening commitment to each other, and to Jesus Christ. Then see them finally experience true love, true peace, and true freedom. You'll be amazed, inspired, encouraged, and deeply moved. Contributor Bio:  Deford, David David DeFord helps individuals begin to love their work.
