Memoirs of Hippie Girl in India

Ann BeCoy is a Canadian woman of Dutch descent who traveled extensively in the 1970s to India and Nepal - lands of gurus, sadhus and maharishis - and into the so-called counter-culture of the day. Here presented are her fascinating accounts of life in those places and in those times; of ideals, values and the practical reality of trying to live up to them in a foreign culture thousands of miles from home. BeCoy takes you into the depths of commune culture, Hindu mysticism, the drugs, the sex and the rock-and-roll lifestyle she lived during those years, and gives her insights into how it worked and why it didn't. From first to last, this profusely illustrated book will transport, enchant and entertain you.
