About the book

Quirky and brilliant, this is the story of one woman's coming of age in the rapidly changing America of the 1960s. Jane Vandenburgh was born into an affluent, white, Protestant family. Her father, an architect with a prominent Los Angeles firm, was arrested several times for visiting gay bars during the 1950s. He was sent to a clinic to be 'cured' and committed suicide when Jane was nine. As a result, Jane was raised by relatives in an affluent suburb in San Fernando Valley; a place where the waves of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll were just beginning to hit the beaches.
