SYNOPSIS: “There were lots of Post-War Babies and Hippies in our building, it turned out… they were always offering to baby-sit; but Betty Baines wouldn’t let them because they might smoke reefer and start asking “what is real?” and stuff like that or start reading Finnegan’s Wake out loud even though they said they didn’t get it at all…” After High School, Cecyl escapes from the racist society of Phoebus, Virginia to the liberal North of Boston. Yet her encounters with the Post-War Babies, a group of South American musicians, and an assortment of room-mates, leave her perplexed at the barriers raised by class, sex, race and by people who won’t treat each other as normal.”
