This story begins and ends in Woodstock. A daughter digs into the past to learn about the Mother she barely knew. She discovers a woman named Didi from a wealthy family, who rejected an upscale lifestyle to became a hippie during that legendary 1969 music festival in rural New York. Instead of a trophy husband, two kids and house in a tony neighborhood, the impulsive Didi went on to live a gypsy existence entirely on her terms. Or as they would say in the 60s, relationships were not her bag. Writer Arden Thira takes you on a bittersweet journey to know the flower child who, far from being the Mother Of The Year, left a hole in the hearts of those she allowed to get close.
