Come Dream With Me: A Sequel to the Summer of Love

Part nostalgic hippie memoir and part travel guide, Inese Civkulis’s fictionalized odyssey begins in Summer of Love Berkeley with a young woman -- Nebraska-born, raised Catholic, and in love for the first time -- discovering the delights and perils of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. But always as the pun-loving global explorer sets out in 1970 with her boyfriend Ben along the Hippie Trail through Asia. Inese is as effervescent and intrepid a backpacking companion as Kerouac himself might have wished for! In fact, it could be said that ON THE ROAD meets EAT PRAY LOVE in this ebullient memoir-- with bits of TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY thrown in—the witty parts. the once easily intimidated young woman unearths downright heroic strength. She may struggle to keep up on a Mount Everest trek, but she is the one who continues CPR on a seemingly lifeless drowning victim when everyone else has given up.
