A Philip K. Dick Award Finalist
A San Francisco Chronicle Recommended Book
A harrowing coming of age. A friendship ending in tragedy. A love spanning five centuries. A terrifying far future. And a gritty portrayal of a unique time in American history affecting (for better or for worse) our society to this day.
“Remarkable. The intellect on display within these psychedelically packaged pages is clear-sighted, witty, and wise.” Locus
“Captures the moment perfectly and offers a tantalizing glimpse of its wonderful and terrible consequences.” San Francisco Chronicle
The year is 1967 and something new is sweeping across America: good vibes, bad vibes, psychedelic music, psychedelic drugs, anti-war protests, racial tension, free love, bikers, dropouts, flower children. An age of innocence, a time of danger. The Summer of Love.
San Francisco is the Summer of Love, where runaway flower children flock to join the hip elite and squares cruise the streets to view the human zoo.
Lost in these strange and wondrous days, fourteen-year-old Susan Bell, alias Starbright, has run away from the straight suburbs of Cleveland to find her troubled best friend. Her path will cross with Chiron Cat’s Eye in Draco, a strange and beautiful young man who has journeyed farther than she could ever imagine.
With the guidance of Ruby A. Maverick, a feisty half-black, half-white hip merchant and Beat poet, Susan and Chi discover a love that spans five centuries. But can they save the world from demons threatening to destroy all space and time?
I’ve remastered my previous Bantam classic, Summer of Love, added the delightful new cover and new drawings by acclaimed San Francisco artist Tom Robinson.
“A fine novel packed with vivid detail, colorful characters, and genuine insight.” Washington Post Book World

“Mason has an astonishing gift. Her characters almost walk off the page. And the story is as significant as anyone could wish. This book will surely be on the prize ballots.” Analog
