No one has ever said that the 1960s were a quiet, serene time in America.
The Orange Blossom Express is a blend of memoir and fiction from Marlena Evangeline, as she reflects on her own summer in the Age of Aquarius through the fictional story of two girls becoming women during the tail-end of one of the most turbulent times in American history. An exciting read about trying to get by in hippie culture (which isn't as innocent as it seems), The Orange Blossom Express is a good read through and through.
Best, Marlena

"One of the best shows I've seen. Billy Joel played all my favorites and had an awesome close with "Only the Good Die Young" and "Piano Man". When he played "We Didn't Start the Fire", the whole crowd was on its feet!..."
