Social study, by a young novelist, of the wayward youth of the Sixties. Her conclusions, based on in-depth interviews and case studies of school-age teens (many of them runaways), about drug use, street life, and radical politics, are generally sympathetic to the counter-cultural inclinations of her subjects. Includes chapters on The Diggers and Huckleberry House.
