In 1960, Texas Josephine McKelvey marries folk singer Jonathan. She moves to San Francisco with him and begins her new adventures and misadventures, encountering Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Dr. David Smith, and Charles Manson. Josephine delivers a beautiful baby and enters U. C. Berkeley. She joins the Free Speech movement and learns that free speech is not the goal of its organizers. With the help of two wise women who have escaped prisons in the Soviet Union and Cuba, and another lady who was deceived by her civil rights group, Josephine discovers many social justice organizations have corrupt roots. Josephine & Jon covert to Catholicism, but Jonathan ventures away to sit at the feet of an Indian guru. The journey ends in 1969.
