Description
Fiction. JANET PLANET is a unique work that attempts to showcase the young and rebellious spirit of a Woodstock generation that eventually grew up and away from those glorious hippie days. In the novel, Janet Harris—known as Janet Planet—is the reader's guide into and out of the psychedelic years as she joins Jorge Castelan (a fictionalized Castaneda) and his circle of women and then falls into the new age movement of alternative spirituality. Set in the hippie haven of Woodstock, Janet embarks on her own spiritual journey into the mystery that lies beyond life.
