Infos

SHE CAME IN LIT is blue jeans, painted Volkswagens and rock ';n roll historical fiction. A socio-political coming of age story, set mostly in Seattle and California, just at the onset of the second wave of the Women's Movement. Young women will find themselves, as will Boomers, music lovers, spiritual seekers, Hippies who want to remember but cannot, political activists, and young ones who hunger for a time when an individual felt potent community, when we believed we could change the world.It was late summer 1966 when 17 year old Shoshannah Leibofsky fell beyond herself. With her first LSD trip she is steeply delivered from her strait-laced life, her family and friends, uninvestigated beliefs, and secretarial job at Boeing. She leaves Seattle for the streets of Haight-Ashbury, finds her way into the underground anti-war nation where conscience and a heady belief she can help make a difference, mixes with drugs, demonstrations, arrests, and Sky River Rock festivals. She finds Sisters, and Feminism, and teachers, loses her faith, and moves in with a rock ';n roll cult band.Shoshy longs to be remarkable, magical, and in a time when girls had not moved much beyond wife-mother-sister-daughter-whore and running the mimeograph machine for the underground revolution, she longs for an original life, aches to be more than just another pair of tits, dreams of someone who understands the way to her heart is though her head and not just between her legs, someone big enough she can run full speed the rest of her days and never come to the end.Is it better to let sleeping dogs lie? Maybe. For once you've seen the light, once awake you have reference, and if you go back to sleep, how much greater the darkness. Asleep or awake there is a price to pay, for you can remain asleep, follow the rules and have a fine life, though it will not be an original one. Or you can open your eyes, by choice or not, for consciousness, being lit is the result of awakening, of disturbed reflection, and then your choices begin.Note: The ebook version includes 15 sound tracks relevant to the story.

Some of these songs go back to 1959. Many were caught live on an Ampex 2-track reel to reel analog tape recorder. Therefore the quality is not always the best. But they are authentic to the time and tune of the story. The writing, vocals and instrument attributions are at the end of the book.
