I wasn't around to see the 60 and 70's well not all of them, but this story shows a coming of age in that era that many could relate to even now, human nature doesn't seem to change much whatever the era.Dawn is a old soul in a young body who wants to experience everything she can before it escapes her, and at that time sex and drugs were the way to go. You feel for Dawn with everything she goes through, wincing when she makes a decision that you know is going to turn out badly but hoping along with her that it's not. The story covers about five or six years from 16 to about 22 and in that time Dawn lives and goes through more than most people do in a lifetime, until in the end Dawn is standing on her own feet, and making decisions for her, becoming the person that she should be in her own right.There are numerous male characters along the way with two standing out Nathan and Kelley, I can relate to Dawn in finding men who are just not good for you, Nathan and Kelley while two very different characters have a lot in common which is probably why the relationships happened the way they did and went the way they did.I wasn't sure when I started reading whether I was going to enjoy this, but it got so I couldn't put it down. A well written and very engaging story of a young girl coming into her own in a time when everything was changing. A line that stuck with me was "I looked tired and worn out. I was too young to look this old." The story of Dawn and well worth reading.I received a free copy for an honest review
