In the Rearview Mirror

by Lee livingston

Overview

Not so long ago, two carefree 18-year-olds hitchhiked across a country of wide-open highways and wide-open people. Ride with them on this nostalgic look back at "America of the Big Heart." It was 1961, before the deaths of JFK and MLK, before Vietnam. IndieReader calls their adventure out of adolescence into the beginning of responsibility: "A must read not only for the baby boomer generation, but great commentary on friendship, mental illness and, ultimately, the road towards redemption."

Editorial Reviews

Exciting, warm, funny, touching and tragic. A can't miss trip for baby boomers of all ages looking to relive the innocent and guilty pleasures of the early 60's.

Entertainment Tonight - Bill Harris

A wide and wonderful cross-country ride through 1961 America, when the roads were open and the cars wore rocket fins, ladled chrome and all the colors of the rainbow. A nostalgic, no seat-belt, eye-opening page turner.

Motor Trend - Gary Witzenburg

Livingston's coming of age journey, as it might accurately be called, runs parallel to the coming of age story of America. He depicts a simpler time in history, when, as he describes it, "the world was smaller". His nostalgia for the sixties is not lost on the reader and, somehow, he instills in his audience a sense of nostalgia for that era as well. A must read for the baby boomer generation.
