Book excerpt: Flashback to the psychedelic sixties¿¿sex, drugs and rock-and-roll¿ was the ethos, and San Francisco¿s Haight-Ashbury was the place to be. Clothing store proprietor Peggy Caserta and her customers¿an eclectic crew later known as The Grateful Dead, and her friend and lover Janis Joplin¿were at the epicenter and the inspiration for adding ¿Hippies¿ to our lexicon.Peace, love and brotherhood gave way to heartache, desperation and addiction. Shortly after Janis Joplin¿s death, the ¿60s party was over and the ¿70s were a decade of lost idealism. Many fascinating, painful, humorous, and devastating escapades later, including a prison break in Mazatlan and her own stint stateside, Peggy finally gets clean and returns to perhaps her greatest challenge¿her aging mother on the edge of dementia back home in the Bayou, just in time for Hurricane Katrina.
