Fried in a Hubcap (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

In this true, no-holds-barred travel memoir, a nomadic hippie searches for something she can't define but knows is missing from her privileged suburban life.

It's the late '60s and surrounded by workaholics, alcoholics, and women who get their hair done every week, all Sukoshi knows is what she doesn't want. If she can avoid a job at all, that would be fine. That leaves lots of room for what she'll try-which is just about anything.

When a family friend gifts Sukoshi and her new husband Glenn a 'round-the-world freighter trip, it's just too good an opportunity to pass up. Life on a freighter is slow and when they run out of acid and good weed they jump ship in Japan to travel overland discovering a whole new world of fearless explorers, lush tropical islands, opium dens, and smugglers.

Soon Glenn yearns for the stability of New York, but Sukoshi keeps traveling alone. Whenever a door opens, she usually walks right through it, often with heartbreaking, harrowing, or hilarious results.

Carefree, occasionally dangerous, and usually highly irresponsible, Sukoshi takes you on an engaging, funny, and honest roller coaster "trip" down memory lane. But it's not all free love, drugs, and 70's music-Sukoshi's capacity for self-reflection gives the book depth as she discovers who she really is.

As one reviewer writes, "I have seldom read anyone bare their soul so completely to share their uninhibited and carefree adventures of this era. Sukoshi Rice is a female Indiana Jones of the hippies. This fun-filled romp is packed with free love and adventure. Travel the world with Sukoshi-but hang on."
