Resumen del Editor

Jenny Boyd's extraordinary life is the stuff of movies and novels, a story of incredible people and places experienced at a pivotal time in the 20th century.

As an up-and-coming young model, Jenny found herself at the heart of Carnaby Street in London, immersed in the fashion and pop culture of the Swinging 60s. With boyfriend Mick Fleetwood, sister Pattie, George Harrison and the rest of the Beatles, she lived the London scene. But as a natural Flower Child, Jenny soon became part of the counter-culture in San Francisco during the Flower Power era, witnessing the Summer of Love; she was the inspiration for Donovan's famous song, Jennifer Juniper, and her photograph was featured inside the box set of his eponymous album A Gift from a Flower to a Garden.

After working in The Beatles shop, Apple, the first of its kind, Jenny attended Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in India to study meditation with her sister and the Beatles, witnessing their creativity and the genesis of songs that would later appear on the White Album.

Despite being attuned to the spiritual bloom and innocence of the '60s, Jenny also experienced first-hand the turmoil and decadence of the 70s and 80s. Her two marriages to Mick Fleetwood, founder member of Fleetwood Mac, brought her to the forefront of the world of rock and roll—and its fame, money, drugs and heartache. Struggling in the darkness to find and develop her own voice and identity, Jenny went to college, achieving a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a PhD in Humanities—her dissertation on musicians and creativity became the critically acclaimed book Musicians in Tune.

Jenny has spent her life in the company of some of the greatest musical and cultural influencers of the last 50 years—and the journey she takes to finding her own sense of self and creative ability makes Jennifer Juniper a truly captivating and inspiring story.

“The beautifully poignant story of a partner, mother, friend, and truly inspirational woman.” MICK FLEETWOOD, FLEETWOOD MAC

Interesting but bad narration

Juicy stories of the 60's and the Rock world. I only wish Jenny Boyd had hired a professional to narrate. Instead of feeling like she is recalling memories, her narration sounds like she is reading the words for the first time and I found that distracting. But good book, I enjoyed it and recommend.

Well-done

i loved it. It's definitely worth a read!
you won't be disappointed. best of luck

Need help sleeping?

Her voice makes for a soothing narration, however, the content is dull. It may have picked up at some point later on, but I couldn’t make it past the first hour.

How privileged she is (poor little rich girl)

Ughh, so bad.
I get it, your childhood sucked (who’s didn’t?)
You literally did to your kids what you cry about your parent’s doing to you.
Naming a book after just one of the reasons your famous, and then trying to make us feel like you accomplished so much (if I had the cash I would also go and get a PhD when I was bored).
I think want my $ back.
