Description

Do you have a name such as Willow, River, Oak or Sunshine? Have you ever lived on a commune, or done yoga naked with your family? If yes, then you are an Adult Child of Hippies (ACOH). Adult Children of Hippies grew up in extreme conditions: eating sprouts, and lugging herbal tea in their Thermoses to school (if they were fortunate enough to make it to school). ACOHs were born and brought up mostly in the 70s and 80s. As their parents reveled in the counterculture, ACOHs struggled with basic hygiene, not to mention broader social acceptance. Until now, this group has not been represented in the media. Content with leaving the past in the past, ACOHs have successfully blended into the mainstream; but the memories and photos persist. Finally, Willow Yamauchi has brought her generational subculture into the light. We no longer need to feel alone or ashamed of our bizarre heritage. Take the test, see the pictures, and stand up tall! Say it: I am an Adult Child of Hippies…. and I am proud.

Willow Yamauchi is a Vancouver-based writer and artist. An Adult Child of Hippies (ACOH) herself, Willow has found this group of survivors to be under represented in culture, and believes that this invisible minority needs to come out from behind the Bead Curtain. Willow parents two children with her husband, Ron. They try not to traumatize them, but it is probably too late. This is her first book.
