Chapter One- "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)"

The year is 1967, and eighteen year old Julie Baker is sick of the life she's known. A young, social elite living a life of luxury, country clubs, and cotillions in Hilton Head, South Carolina, Julie's patience runs out and she convinces her parents that for her last summer before college, she should travel to San Francisco and spend it with her parents friend, Lazarus Keith. California bound, smooth sailing is not what Julie gets. After a particularly bad situation at a gas station, Julie- now transformed to Kit First, lover of peace, flowers, and beads- finds herself on a different route to California, with people she never would have imagined herself with. Meet Ivy, Jonathan, and Lawrence; Julie's new way to get to CA, and watch this Southern belle find herself caught up at the peak of the hippie revolution, where the war in Vietnam is the enemy, love is all you need, and San Francisco is the place to be.
