Sex, Drugs, Death in Beverly Hills

Book excerpt: This book focuses on the life, adventures, tragedies and the plight of one teenager growing up in Beverly Hills during the early 70s drug atmosphere and lifestyle. Book I, is about one teenagers courage and willpower to overcome enormous obstacles in her life, amongst a death sentence from the fledgling Neurological profession in that era. The book also takes a look at the young psychiatric system and its neophyte facilities; it also explains the archaic use of these facilities available at that time. Life in Beverly Hills during the 60s and 70s could truly be called surviving Beverly Hills. Regardless of money or power during the era of freedom, rock and roll, sex and the Hippy mentality still affects generations to this day. Even saying that you grew up in Beverly Hills still carries a heavy stigma today.
