Summary:
Peggy Caserta, founder of the famous Haight-Ashbury hippie boutique Mnasidika and lover and girlfriend of Janis Joplin, was a Louisiana homecoming queen turned airsick stewardess who eventually landed in 1960s San Francisco and set up shop.
Her store was a hang-out for the Grateful Dead and Big Brother and the Holding Company; it was where Wes Wilsons posters hung, where Bill Graham sold concert tickets, and where Owsleys LSD was enjoyed.
Casertas world of psychedelic peace, love, LSD, and rock kaleidoscoped into bereavement, heroin addiction, prison, and desperation. She was hated, betrayed, and self-exiled, and after many, many years has recovered, returning home to the bayou to care for her mother with dementia.
Now Caserta is giving a new generation an inside look into a revolutionboth countercultural and personalin her new memoir. Its the celebration of a transitional time in history and an attempt at redemption.
