Flower Children sets out to give a glimpse into the lives of the other half of the "hippie" family....the children. The prose starts wonderfully and the lyrical writing sucks you in. However, as the book unfolds the changing narrative is a bit annoying and confusing. It is tough to keep track of the timeline and the players. The final chapters of the book felt like a cop-out to tie up the book.

It's a quick read and an interesting look at what one might imagine those without boundaries as children experienced.
