Joyce Johnson grew up bright and sensitive in Manhattan in the '50s of the cold war and gray flannel suits. "Attracted to decadence," with "little respect for respectability," she had a boundless - and dangerous - belief in the power of love.

For two years, more or less, on and off, she was the girlfriend of Jack Kerouac, during the time that On the Road established him as the guiding light and the spokesman of the Beat Generation. Those years were "an exciting period of my life, a time of enormous hope and energy and the feeling that anything was possible... that four people sitting around a table could change the world." This book is the story of her coming of age.
