". . . captures the spirit of the San Francisco Bay area in the 1960's and 1970's and tells the story of Jones' life as Ginny ("the first hippie") drifts into and out of it."- Publishers Marketplace in their "Deal of the Day" column. "A soothingly disturbing bittersweet elixir. By turns deliciously funny and poignantly painful, it wanders and rambles in and out of the messiness of life. It's real. It's human. You will be different for having immersed yourself in it. Ginny Good has the soul and guts and truth of a classic of American Literature."-Donna McDougle, author and book reviewer Gerard Jones is the infamous creator of the Everyone Who's Anyone in Trade Publishing website.
