"This novel is excruciatingly accurate and totally outrageous. Justison has captured the extravagance of the time: the interplay of sexual liberation, psychedelic experiences and coming of age that made the community so intense and inviting. Was drug use so extensive and casual? You bet. Was casual sexual connecting so extensive and easy? Oh my, yes. The 60s, including its dark, scary, lonely, confused reality is all here, as well as the ecstasy, the kindness, and the sharing. If you weren't there, this is as close as you're going to get to knowing what you missed. The stories, the people, the vision- enjoy the trip."

James Fadiman, microdose researcher and Author, The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide: Safe, Therapeutic and Sacred Journeys

"This lively and engaging novel chronicles the adventures of a high school drop-out who leaves Arizona for the Haight Ashbury in the 1960's ... The narrator, a bright, observant young man, quickly becomes part of Hippie culture of free love, tripping on marijuana and LSD, ... and anti-draft demonstrations, which is captured in nuanced and textured detail...

For those who were there, this novel will bring it all back, for those who weren't, this novel is a vivid portrait of of the 60's."

Wendy Martin, Professor of American Literature and American Studies, Founder and Editor, Women's Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal

"Writing a book about the 1960s is a sure gamble: Everyone who survived those raucous times has a story and probably wouldn't mind hearing another. Betting he can get an audience, former Tucsonan Paul Justison has penned an intriguing '60s tale, "Lost and Found in the '60s."

...As the story begins, teenager Mark Stenrud, in a broken relationship with his mother, has problems at school for his Vietnam War protesting and troubles juggling girlfriends. His solution is to get high across the border, gleefully prank the John Birch Society, and drop out of Javelina High to escape to California.

...Stenrud takes chances with his life, in the same way Justison takes chances with his readers. Justison doesn't spare readers ... the dangerous possible outcomes involved in turning on, tuning in and dropping out. The book is an unlikely hero's journey. The pace matches the beat of the times and there are plenty of odd twists to keep the reader engaged.
