West By Northwest.org's e-book, Breaking Free: A Novel of the Sixties by Sylvia Hart Wright, is a beautifully written novel that spans that incredible decade of change, and the continental U.S. For those of you who were there, it is a great summation of the experience. For those of you who wonder what it was really like, now you'll know.

It's the Sixties. Everything is changing. Elise, an active student at the University of California at Berkeley, gets involved at the Peace Center and meets Ray, the love of her life. Or is he?

Elise moves on. Moves on to New York in the late Sixties. A time of campus revolts and sexual liberation, of sometimes bloody conspiracies on the left and the right. She comes to know and respect some of the Black Panthers. They angle for her help. What should she do? she wonders. Is it time for her to wrench away from her Peace Center roots and to shed her commitment to nonviolence? Meanwhile Ray remains in her memory and her heart ... A wonderful read about the third American revolution of life, politics, and love.

Read one chapter and we think you'll find yourself hooked.
