A coming-of-age tale and a joyous romp through Southern California in the closing days of the 1960s, where drugs, sex, and rock and roll are the order of the day.
Take a trip with The Boys, four fun-loving young men at the dawn of their adult lives, a time of political assassinations, student protests, an unpopular war, racial tensions, cultural evolution and self-discovery.
With the backdrop of the Viet Nam War, they encounter life’s first great adventures. California’s economic boom fuels their extravagant lifestyle, fast cars, a house in upscale Manhattan Beach, a following of pretty girls, legendary parties, a cadre of memorable friends, all that youth and money have to offer.
Their small beach house known as The Stiffroot Home for Wayward Girls gives birth to a fraternity of friendship that bonds them for life. Along the way they discover more than just themselves, but reality at the end of an era.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Remember
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024

I was younger than the guys portrayed in this book but I had older siblings. I remember some things but I would say this sounds a lot like my brother and his buddies who were living out west during those years. This was a great read for me as it brought lots of smiles and chuckles as I picture how crazy they must’ve been. Loved it!

I didn't live in Southern California but I definitely knew these guys well and frequently partied with them. This was a deluge of memories from simpler times - sometimes hilarious, sometimes cringy, always memorable. This was life before it was politically correct to be politically correct. I enjoyed the ride!

Stiffroot Home for Wayward Girls is a step back to the crazy time of the late '60s. Vietnam is still in full war mode but these 4 friends are making the most of the California sunshine.

Growing up decades after this time setting, it was great to catch a glimpse of what life could've been like in the 60's. Author did a great job of painting that picture, looking forward to more from them in the future.

It's not my normal read, but it was an interesting fun romp. My 60's were certainly more mundane. I wonder if this was somewhat autobiographical.

4.0 out of 5 stars Growing up in South Bay

A light story of four young men growing up in the LA South Bay. Reminded me of my own early 20's living in same area, as we learned who we were and how to function in the world.
