A Wild, Uninhibited '70s Travel Escapade
It's the late '60s. Surrounded by workaholics, alcoholics, and ladies who lunch, Sukoshi's willing to go to just about any lengths to find the elusive antidote to her predictable suburban life. If she can avoid a job at all, that's fine with her, even if it means getting married! She'll try just about anything, once.
When a family friend gifts Sukoshi and her new husband, Glenn, a 'round-the-world freighter trip for their honeymoon, it's the opportunity of a lifetime. But life on a freighter is slow and being stuck in port can get tedious. After they run out of acid and weed, they jump ship in Japan to travel overland. That's when they discover a whole new world of fearless explorers, lush tropical islands, opium dens, smugglers and possibilities they never dreamed existed.
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 '70s 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."
