Every person has experienced a moment that changed them forever. Whether it was positive or negative, when it happened, you were never the same as you were just one second before.

From her parents' tumultuous divorce to finding out, after years of a turbulent relationship with her dad, that he actually was not her dad. From losing a close friend in a tragic accident to finding a best friend. Through her relationship with a man she's loved since she was 12, sticking by him through years of a deadly heroin and alcohol addiction, until his eventual recovery and beyond. At 30 years old, after a 10-year quest to find her biological father, she found not only him, but discovered EIGHT siblings as well. This is her story of resilience, strength, and companionship while navigating her afters.

A Perfect Haze
Author: Harvey Kubernik
Publisher: Santa Monica Press
ISBN: 1595808728
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
The first major rock music festival and the precursor to Woodstock, the Monterey International Pop Festival was an unprecedented gathering of pop, soul, jazz, and folk artists who took the stage one luminous weekend during the “Summer of Love.” On the 16th, 17th, and 18th of June, 1967, the sleepy California coastal community of Monterey played host to the now-legendary concert. In its aftermath, the world of popular culture was transformed forever. The ’60s were now upon us with a soundtrack, a style, and a political and social sensibility all its own. A Perfect Haze is the official history of this glorious festival. With the endorsement and support of producer Lou Adler and the Monterey International Pop Festival Foundation, the sights and sounds of the festival come to life in this extravagant compilation of photography, memorabilia, and first-hand accounts by musicians, fans, crew members, and others who attended the concert. To read its pages is to step back in time to the moment of rock’s big bang, when Jimi Hendrix, the Who, Otis Redding, Ravi Shankar, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and dozens more set the stage on fire—both metaphorically and, in one iconic instance, literally! Dozens of musicians and others associated with the festival have been interviewed exclusively for the book, including Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Bob Weir, Ravi Shankar, D. A. Pennebaker, Andrew Loog Oldham, Steve Cropper, Booker T. Jones, and Al Kooper, as well as members of Jefferson Airplane, the Association, Moby Grape, and Canned Heat. A Perfect Haze is packed with hundreds of photographs taken both in front of the stage and behind the scenes, including works by such notable artists as Henry Diltz, Elaine Mayes, and Nurit Wilde. Festival programs, posters, advertisements, album covers, and other ephemera—most of which has never been seen before—are also included, provided by Lou Adler, the festival’s nonprofit foundation, collectors, participants, and fans who attended the event. Even more than Woodstock, the Monterey International Pop Festival was the epicenter of a youthquake whose aftershocks continue to reverberate throughout our 21st-century culture. A Perfect Haze evokes this magic event in all its kaleidoscopic glory.

I am going through some changes with the way I see things, including my relationships, which has an effect on the men in my life. As I lose two of my husbands, I gain a new daughter that I am fiercely protective over, but will my baby's father let me be a proper mother to her? I finally confront my father about the child I lost, but it doesn't go according to plan, nor does my trip to the Light Fae. A shock causes me to seek solace in the arms of the one man I know I have to stay away from. When a centuries-old love makes his intentions to stick around known, it confuses me, and my other men, about his place in my life. But when one creature I know I have to kill once and for all shows up, it results in a fight to the death. But whose? ** After dealing with the death of a part of myself, I suddenly find myself at a loss and floundering slightly in the aftermath.

When Vito blurts out something that I never thought I would hear, I pull away, creating a distance between myself and my lovers. Unfortunately, in true fashion, I find myself in the worst hot water I have encountered since the thirteenth century--which is saying something for the woman to whom trouble is wildly attracted to. It all comes up roses in the end, but of course that's only temporary. When Constantine finds out, he makes an appalling, spur of the moment decision that tears us apart once and for all. But as I have come to learn... Is anything in this life really forever? **Official end of the series, but can be continued with Arathia: Forever Series Extra, set in the future.
