A 1960s Counterculture YA Novel of Adolescent Suburban Life, LSD Addiction, and Family Crisis

During the summer of 1968 in suburban Chicago, sixteen-year-old Kevin eagerly awaits the return of his idolized nineteen-year-old brother, Jim, from his freshman year of college. However, Jim returns home deeply altered, withdrawn, and secretly addicted to LSD.

When Kevin discovers Jim's concealed drug stash and private journal detailing terrifying hallucinogenic trips, he attempts to protect his brother from their parents. As Jim suffers severe psychological breakdowns and hospitalization, Kevin confronts the dark reality of the late-1960s youth counterculture.
