    About this series

    This is the story of two runaway teenagers in love in the Sixties.

    Tie Dye is a fashion, an industry and the baby of the Sixties. Julietta Bonaventura is a hippie entrepreneur selling her incense, occasional ounce of pot, legal hallucinogens and handmade tie dye in Grant Park, downtown Chicago. Don't be shocked LSD was legal for a while in the Sixties. During which marijuana wasn't!

    Grant Park was a hotbed of political activity. It was located across the street from the SDS riot and many protests marches on Michigan Avenue.

    Julie helps hide these two teens and faces anti-hippie prejudice in a small midwestern town.

      It was an entirely different world in Fifties' America. Enter here ... dance with us. Vincente Bonaventura, an Italian gentleman farmer/tailor from the bayous of Louisiana sets out, after his beloved wife dies of Cholera, to make his fortune in something other than farming. His mother offers to raise his newborn daughter, Julietta. He refuses and insists on taking her with him. He becomes a door-to-door salesman, selling everything he can from coast to coast, but runs into some misfortune to the tune of an old childhood "friend" who stashes uncut cocaine in his car from time to time. We travel with Vince, his daughter, and their rescued bulldog puppy, for eight years as they try to shake this drug cartel and find their way out of being unwilling drug mules. Jitterbug follows the three of them from the deep south to the east coast to Mexico and on to Chicago where they finally find some peace.  See the Sixties sequel Tie Dye by the same author as Julie grows up to be a smart, socially-conscious hippie chick.
