[Daley’s] fascinating interviews stir up no shortage of old memories, good and bad, plus passionate defenses of differences once thought to be important. . . . Daley’s insightful look at Vermont before and after its fabled "hippie invasion" is a useful guide to building bridges to new neighbors not on the left or anywhere near it.

Daley argues that Vermont’s counterculture - its communes, its ice cream, its drugs, its politics - has had a vast impact on the culture of the country writ large.
—Boston Globe

Marvelous. . . . Yvonne Daley’s . . . book tracing the impact of the counter-culture on Vermont is at once thoughtful, moving, important- and very funny.
—The Herald of Randolph

That the author tells her story so well may be due to the fact that she approached it as both a participant and a seasoned journalist.
