Where Wild Olives Grow - A Memoir

“It starts in the sixties and roars into the seventies. Across the western world, a generation strangled by their parent’s outdated values and political hypocrisy, reject the postwar affluence and take to the highways. In search of freedom and truth, the hippie generation is on the move.

Disillusioned by Vietnam, Ken leaves the Army and takes to the highways, the seas, and the lure of international travel. Starting in Turkey, he explores Greece, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, indulging in all that life has to offer.

Where Wild Olives Grow is a five-year experiment—a smorgasbord of dusty Spanish villages and sparkling Mediterranean shores… of love in a Europe with open arms for seekers like Ken.
