Heart First: Book #1

A Female Psychedelic Call to Adventure

By: Michelle Miller

Narrated by: Michelle Miller

From a young age, Michelle is determined to rise above the limitations of collective belief systems such as getting a “real job” or relying on money. She forgoes a college education, and instead creates her own eclectic lifestyle that involves travel, psychedelics, being voluntarily homeless, and hitch hiking her way to what she is certain will be a brighter future for herself. Set in the counterculture of the 1990s, Michelle gains spiritual insights throughout her haphazard adventures while backpacking through Alaska, Thailand, Mexico, and Central America. Despite several setbacks, she continues to press forward with utmost optimism as she struggles to gain her traditional parents’ approval and to integrate her free-spirited idealisms into something meaningful on the material plane.

I felt like I was traveling right along with Michelle!

This raw and honest account of true adventure, and coming of age in the sub cultures of the 90s and 2000s, is not only funny, fun, but intense and intriguing wanting you to ask for more… hard to put down. Excellent word choices, making you feel like you right next to Michelle on her journey! I love how it made me reflect integrating valuable life lessons. Loved this book! A must read…

A raw look at the 90s hippie experience

It made me laugh, it made me cringe, it made me nod along in agreement many times, it made me reflect on my own psychedelic experiences. It also serves as a sort of time capsule as we move further along from the 90s. My only critique would be to get better audio equipment, it was a little difficult to hear at times.
