Kenneth Hailey believes he can deal with everything logically — even love. Until he meets Rose Red, a free-spirit flower child who believes in loving the one you’re with. And, while love plays its part, for Kenneth, 1967 is the year he wakes up.

Kenneth Hailey, an uptight, conservative mathematician, believes he’s in control. After all, every problem can be solved in a deliberate, logical manner — even love. When his fiancée drops him for his best friend, he leaves Manhattan for the West Coast to start afresh. What better place to step out of his shell. After all, it’s 1967, and San Francisco is the place to turn on, tune in, and drop out.

But is he ready for Rose Red?

Rose Red, a free-spirited flower-child, challenges Kenneth’s very essence. She itches to strip him of his button-down shirts, crew cut and thick rimmed glasses by introducing him to her world of love-ins, protest rallies, and rock concerts. Their worlds collide, and Kenneth finds himself falling down the rabbit hole, hanging on for dear life! Not willing to give up his old habits, he tries to retire into his shell, a place of security and comfort, but Rose has other plans for him.

Set in San Francisco during the turbulent sixties, it’s a story about love, acceptance and the willingness to see the world in a new light.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language.
