I was so excited to have found this book because my dad was born in 1949 in San Francisco, and to this day he is what you would call an old school hippie. I hated anything to do with that when I was a child and was horribly embarrased by my father, and even cringed when tyedye came back into style several years ago, but reading this book gave me a piece of what my fathers early years were like and helps me to understand him more. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the man, he's my hero, I was just a normal teenager who was embarrased by her parents.This book was written so well, it was amazing. I felt like I was on the streets of San Fransisco and I was going to pass by a much younger version of my dad at any moment. I love all types of books and feel that I grow every time I read something as amazing as this one. I loved Sarah so much and how she was mysterious and slowly started to give pieces of herself away.
Spoiler Alert: The car scene was so dang terrifying. First the way the previous chapter ended making me wonder what was going to happen, and then I could practically feel the tension as he was running. I'm trying to say this without giving things away. My heart was pounding. Also another scene with the officers, I actually laughed out loud, making my husband ask what was so funny. I rarely laugh out loud when reading. I will smile, or cry, but rarely laugh.
This book has it all, mystery, romance, history, and teaches us to have compassion for things that we just don't unerstand. This book was written so well. You will certainly be missing out on something special if you don't read this amazing book. I also went and looked at the author's profile and found it really interesting that he served in Vietnam and was still able to write something so compelling. It wasn't done as a political statement, and it wasn't done trying to preach one side verses the other. It was done so tastefully and uniquelly and I will definetly buy more of this authors work. Amazing Book!!!

This story took me way back...Nothing was left behind, and it stayed true to the era. The struggles that Alex had to endure to 'fit in', were really written well. After finishing this book, I found myself at a loss for words. This is truly a multi-faceted story, like a diamond that shines in many directions. I could see Sarah dancing in my mind, and I feel all of Alex's love for her..The cover is beautiful.
A very, well written work of art.
The Summer of Love !!!!!!!! The 1967, FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR - FLOWERS EVERYWHER era !!!!! I remember, I was a very sheltered little girl of 15, but hearing about Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco made me want to be there, made many of us want to be there - that's why our parents held so tight !!!!!!! IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO, BE SURE TO WEAR SOME FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR !!!!!!! still one of my all time favorite songs, it will bring me back to a time when I was safe and secure, it's okay that daddy's love held on so tight.
The hippie era, -), sure, it's called that... but we have names for every generation, so it's all right .. Alex shared his point of view as an outsider looking in, sometimes the best point of view.. he had nothing to gain and nothing to lose going in and writing about the way things were ...
I can honestly say, with tears in my eyes, that thanks to Randy Mixter, I finally got to see and experience MY SUMMER OF LOVE by reading SARAH OF THE MOON !!!! I will probably read this book again and again, sometimes the friendship, kindness and the love from from a stranger keeps us going back to places one can only visit in our mind's eye !!! THANK YOU RANDY MIXTER FOR MY SUMMER OF LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As soon as I started reading Randy Mixter's bittersweet love story Sarah of the Moon and immediately teleported back to the summer of love, a time that was still innocent with hope not yet destroyed, I felt as though I was in a dream. To be sure, Mixter's lyrical prose, especially his descriptions of Sarah dancing or of Alex taking in all the sights and sounds of Haight-Ashbury, had a very dreamy quality to them. On one hand Mixter's describing what he might have seen if he had been a young, naïve man experiencing the hippie culture for the first time and trying to make sense out of it all, but on the other hand there was something much more happening here than reporting this summer of love. Then it hit me what Mixter was really getting after here.
On one level we have the love story between Alex and Sarah, falling in love during this magical summer of love, which is nice and romantic, but on the next level, and this is where the real meaning of the novel becomes profound and poignant, the story is really about the last dying gasps of the innocence the sixties promised. Ever since the assassination of JFK in 1963 and the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, America's youth was living on borrowed time. The summer of 1967 was the last flicker of hope before everything turned tragic the following year. We all know what is going happen the next year from Tet and the riots in Chicago to the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy.
What Mixter ultimately achieves with this hauntingly lyrical and bittersweet love story reminded me a lot of the movie American Graffiti where the five main characters have one fling together before they embark on their journey through the sixties. In Mixter's novel it's near the end of the sixties and although we do not have the chilling Dragnet-style ending in American Graffiti, we know what lies ahead.
Whether you lived through the sixties or not, Randy Mixter's Sarah of the Moon is one story you will remember long after you have finished reading it.
