Under A Tie Dye Sky Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
In her book, Under A Tie Dye Sky, Suzee takes you along to walk, drive, hitchhike and fly the road of life she found in the 60s. Questing, Suzee chases The Dream that the enchanted ones were committed to finding. Love and truth snatched them out of this world to go wherever they were led. Something wonderful and shiny transfers out of her stories about encounters with the Beatles, college life, childhood friends, experimenting with drugs, her fantasies, and gripping challenges. Suzee takes us back to the days Boomers experienced, but somehow may have missed or forgotten. This isn’t just another memoir about a patchouli-wearing, acid-dropping Flower Child with a berserk past. There are strands of hope and you’ll find yourself wondering how this person ends up writing about God and forgiveness. It’s all here, told in her warm, whacky but insightful writing style.

Suzee Carson Branch's new book, "Under A Tie Dye Sky" is a Sundance Film Festival masterpiece in the making. Get ready to board the whirlwind tour of her life that just so happens to include the streets of Haight-Ashbury during the epicenter of the sixties. Suzee tells it as she `wings it' as opposed to looking back, which is not the same at all. She doesn't merely write 'about' it. Her wide-eyed enthusiasm and zest for truth lead her directly to it, starting at its toes, right up to its gigantic, superhero nose. You are urged to come along in her suitcase full of dreams turned wide awake.

While attempting to stay put in earthbound mode, I lifted off my chair and went traveling through the unincorporated township of her mind. Her town -- as it were -- has no bounds. It has its own outer spaces and itty bitty places. It's a great big and wonder-filled place. My emotions went haywire. I was baffled, befuddled, bewildered and beside myself. Chapter after chapter I went missing while in a captivating, spellbinding state. I love how the writer forges beyond my three dimensional world, taking me into her infinite one. Like Alice, I grew from just small to ten feet tall. Ms. Branch's book gives a new, refreshing meaning to the word "Uplifting," as in magic-carpet-ride uplifting; as in lift off, take off and blast off. So take off your former way of thinking and take on the magical, mystical, mystery mind of Miss Suzee. If you are brave enough to get up on your imaginary horse and be a follower, you shall surely find yourself in the lead with this extraordinary, at times, whimsical, at times, heartbreaking story.

I read the whole thing all the while hungering for more. I went over it bit by bit, having a fine-tooth comb in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other. I concluded that it fills you up but leaves you hungry. It's one of those finer pieces in life that after the experience leaves you incapable of settling for lesser things.

Under A Tie Dye Sky Review: Leaving Subject Matter
I craved essence
I craved core
I waxed prescient
And needed more

I went missing
My eyes crossed
With tears glistening
I got lost

I got found
Back in my seat
Safe and sound
Without missing a beat

Suzee wasn't the rebellious teenager we "normal" adolescents thought hippies and flower children were. We watched their out-of-this- world antics and destructive lifestyle from a safe distance. Hence the prideful criticism of those so different from us. For Suzee, it wasn't rebellion at all. It was the passionate following after the Siren call of "The Dream"; the dream that called her heart to pursue. She had no choice. She had to go, and not quit until she'd found it. Suzee's journey would take her to Haight-Ashbury, two streets made forever famous/infamous by the movement of the time. Hundreds of young people like her, trying desperately to fill that empty place in their own hearts, no matter what price they had to pay. Suzee paid too, with sex, drugs...you know. As she tells her story, you're there with her, like it or not. After all, you chose to read her book, and for some crazy reason you stick with it because you need to know if The Dream becomes reality. She describes a fairy-like land and life, and also a hellish-dark pit where confusion reigned. Down, down, into the rabbit-hole of destruction, and yet, our Suzee survives, and never gives up.

And neither does The Dream, the One Who came to earth to fill that empty place in Suzee's heart and to save her from the despair of her world. He, the One Who opened her eyes and heart to the love she ran after but never caught, gathered her in His arms and has never let her go. Suzee shares her mistakes, but mostly the triumphs of the love between herself and her horse, her joy in being alive, the pursuit of a life connected to nature, and the love of her child and husband.

It's honestly written, brutally so at times, with word pictures that take you to where she was. When you're finished reading you know you've gained a friend for life, connected by mutual love. From darkness to Light, from confusion to Truth, Suzee shares her life and we are richer for it!

Suzee has led a chaotic life of careless abandon, but has mustered the stamina and will power to somehow survive. I was a childhood acquaintance and school mate of hers from elementary through high school. We weren't close friends back then. We each had our friendship circles. Reading her book gave me insights that I never knew or even suspected. She describes her trip and "trips" through the 1960s of being a flower child with all the connotations of drugs, free love that it implies. The part about the Haight Ashbury section of San Francisco was eye-popping to say the least. I enjoyed the fact that she dwelt on the drug culture rather than the political aspect of those days, but one can imagine how the two were interwoven.

Her book is divided into a large number of two and three page chapters. That made it easy to read. One could concentrate on and imagine the action described much more easily. I read this book and its chapters very slowly, perhaps only on chapter a day. So the process took extra time, but I read them as if I were her sainted, patient parents who might receive a postcard (chapter) from her. I found myself getting angry, worried, frustrated, and relieved at different points throughout the book as her parents might have felt, and I could never suspect when each of those emotions might pop up from the book. Despite all that, she did work to become an RN which I can only say I am impressed with her intelligence as well.

I enjoyed the book and its honesty. She has a unique, entertaining writing style that keeps you waiting for the next blossom of humor and calamity, and each occurs when you least expect it. It's also great to reconnect with her on a personal friend basis after all these years. She's not done. There's a lot of adventure left in her. I can keep up with that in her weekly blogs.
