Hippie Boy

No, not a new moniker for my altered ego, but a great read written by Ingrid Ricks. Hippie Boy: A Girl’s Story is a wise YA memoir suitable for A’s of all ages. Hippie Boy tells the chilling tale of growing up fundamentalist Mormon and bouncing between EARL the holier-than-thou freeloading stepfather and a Willie-Lomanesque real father, doing endless loops selling bric-a-brac on the road, while dodging the law. All’s well that ends well, and Ingrid today is thriving with a hubby & kids here in quirky Ballard. I recommend her book.
